In this paper a report is given of the pedogeochemical study of the Makola area. Its subject matter is the automated prosessing of the data obtained from the pedogeochemical exploration as well as the factors affecting the results. Of these factors, special emphasis is laid on the statistical behaviour of the element concentrations in the sample population. A smoothing method was evolved to reduce the random component of the dispersion. For the automated print-out of the results programs were developed which permit the output of the data by a line printer or a computer-operated plotter.
