It is the purpose of this paper to present some of the more representative and pronounced soil profiles of the west which are of widespread occurrence and of suggestive development. In connection with this we shall attempt to trace development of some of these through immature stages to maturity, making little attempt to explain or interpret causes thereof, leaving such explanations and elaborations of the subject to others, who, more familiar with recent literature and results of research, may the more ably do so in discussion of this paper which it is hoped may follow.
