Abstract

The SiO2, A12O3 & Fe2O3 contents of the non-clay fraction of podzol, gray-brown podzolic, brown podzolic, acid brown earth & gley soils were calculated from the soil & clay composition. Results which are tabulated with the silica-ses-quioxide ratios show that the translocation of Fe & Al is fundamentally the same process. Although Al migrates with the clay minerals, if there is clay eluviation, weathering resulting in the liberation of A12O3 & Fe2O3, and subsequent translocation by organic acids are more important.
