Note 78 — Chapter XI · THE WATER OF SOILS.
Reading edition
Hall (The Soil, p. 66) gives for the minima in the case of soils examined by him the following figures: coarse sandy soil, 22.2, light loam, 35.4, stiff clay, 45.6, sandy peat, 52.8. These figures are very much higher than for apparently similar materials used by the writer, and the differences exceed those between the maxima given for the same. This discrepancy I am unable to account for.
