The Leon soils are in the seaward portion of the 'south Atlantic coastal plain, the largest areas being in Florida and southeastern Georgia, and smaller areas occurring in South Carolina and North Carolina. These soils occur in small areas in only a few foreign countries. Mr. Bennett of this Bureau, in hie travels in Central America found small bodies of the St. Johns and Leon soils in the savanna areas in the vicinity of Pearl Lagcon in northeastern Nicaragua. Cobb-'-, in the Landes and Dunes of Gascony, has described a hardpan occurring in southern France, which is similar to the Leon Hardpan. The Russian literature gives no account of any soil exactly like the Leon.
