Summary Abstract:	This is an Explanatory Table ("Key, classification, modal profile, and environment for soil families of Hawaii") which groups soils into families which are characterised by modal profiles. The Table accompanies the Generalized Soil Maps of the Hawaiian Island, at different scales, and the corresponding Soil Legend which is at WOSSAC #47412. There is also a legend (at #47376) and a series of 20 coloured soil maps at scale 1: 62,500, published in the 1950s. by the USDA. The actual soil survey dates from 1935-39. These maps therefore date before the islands joined the US. The maps were published by the USDA - Soil Conservation Service and the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station.
