Abstract
THE problem of devising a universally applicable system of soil classification calls for a wide knowledge of the soils found in different parts of the world as well as an intimate acquaintance with soils in the field. An attempt at devising such a system is made, by a pedologist with both these qualifications, in Prof, del Villar's work on the soils of Spain and Portugal.
