This paper discusses three late Ordovician paleosols developed on andesite flows near Arisaig, Nova Scotia. These paleosols provide additional data for the Holland-Pinto model of soil development, and serve as a check on the model's validity.

This review emphasizes the stratigraphic and spatial implications of paleosols to Quaternary research. A brief history of the evolution of soil geomorphology is presented. Details from two earlier investigations in the state of Iowa and one from
a recent study in Indiana are presented to demonstrate the importance of understanding paleosols in a soil-geomorphic framework.

Based on a recently revised chronology the loess-paleosol sequences especially from F5 to F2 in the Carpathian Basin, southeast Central Europe and for comparison the section of Luochuan, Central China give a reliable climatic history for the upper

The purpose of this study was to distinguish between recent and relict features in the red soils of South India. The most so-called alfisols in South India are paleosols formed under a much more humid climate. The results show that under present day
