Abstract
WE would like to direct attention to the remarkable similarity between the composition of the micro-fungal population of some acid sandy podsol soils in England, as recorded by Jeffreys, Brian, Hemming and Lowe1, and that of some acid podsol soils in Victoria, Australia2. This similarity is associated with the presence in the B-horizon of what is described as an iron-pan in the English soils.
