Description :
A new system of horizon notation for New Zealand soils based on that used in England and Wales is outlined. Like the latter, it gives specific definitions of the letter combinations used to label the most commonly occurring horizons, but it differs in providing more additional suffixes to designate supplementary properties. Other major changes and new concepts, that give the system a separate identify, are enumerated.
