Abstract

                                Eight soil samples representing the four major soil types of South India were studied by dehydration analysis and from the available data it could be concluded that black soils and Interite soils contain montmorillonite and kaolinite as dominant clay minerals, respectively, and the alluvial soil and red soil from Peelamedu contain a mixture of clay minerals. The conclusion was found to agree with the data obtained by other methods.
