Excerpt from The Soil: An Introduction to the Scientific Study of the Growth of Crops I have to thank Professor J. Percival, of the South Eastern Agricultural College, for notes respecting the association of plants with specific soils, and many suggestions on biological questions, Major Hanbury Brown, head of the Egyptian Irrigation Department, for information concerning salted lands in Egypt, Mr F. J. Flymen, who has been associated with me in carrying out a soil survey of the counties of Kent and Surrey, and has executed many of the observations recorded here, Mr W. H. Aston, one of my pupils, to whom I owe the Observations on p. 153, and finally, Dr J. A.
