Extract

Certain heavy ferruginous soils do not respond to the usual preliminary treatment with hydrogen peroxide for mechanical analysis by the pipette method.

A method of preliminary treatment is described, involving the use of ammoniacal hydrogen peroxide and repeated gentle rubbing with a rubber pestle which appears to give a satisfactory dispersion with such soils.

The results are not affected by mechanical shaking, which may therefore be omitted.
