Rossmoyne silt loam is the -roost characteristic mature soil of the Illinoian Drift region of southwestern Ohio. It occupies areas in v/hich the natural drainage conditions are intermediate between the brown Cincinnati and the gray Clermont soils. Although at present the natural drainage : is fair, and probably has been during the latter stages of the development of tho Rossmoyne soil, there is evidence that it existed under condition's, of poor, drainage, during .the, early stages of its development. Because of extreme weathering this. soil has developed a marked differentiation into horizons .
