Summary Abstract:	This Memoir 3 - The Soils of the Northern Province, Uganda (Excl. Karamoja District) forms part of a set of 6 Memoirs of the Series 1: Soils of the Research Division. It presents the results of a reconnaissance soil survey which aimed to identify & describe the soils of the Province. Twenty four soil units, mainly soil series, were identified in the Northern Province, and the mapping units were, in the main, delineated by geomorphic, landscape features and/or catenas, with emphasis on erosion characteristics. The soil units are comprehensively described in the report, including 42 representative profile descriptions, with their corresponding analytical data. Two loose maps accompany the report: 1. Soils, at 1:500,000 scale; and 2. Geomorphology, at 1:1,000,000 scale. Note: There is also another copy of this Memoir in the WOSSAC Catalogue with the Id. number #408; which, also, have been scanned. See also WOSSAC Id: #47638
