Extract

1. The relative proportions of exchangeable bases in nine soils from the east of Scotland area and the changes effected by dilute chloride solutions have been examined.

2. The changes due to N/50 solutions are large, and magnesium is displaced to a greater extent by calcium than by potassium.

3. The changes due to N/500 solutions are very small, comparable to what might be expected in manurial practice, and not greater than field sampling error.

4. The content of exchangeable bases and their relative proportions, therefore, seem to be fairly permanent for any soil under normal conditions, but vary considerably from soil to soil, and should prove useful as an additional characteristic of soil type as distinguished in the field.
