Summary Abstract:	This Report presents the findings of a study carried out by the Angola Pedological Mission (of the Portugal Overseas Research Council) designed to identify, classify and describe the main soils of the Mocamedes District in the south-west corner of Angola. The field survey was undertaken during 1956 and 1957. The Report, which is in the Portuguese language, includes the classification and description of seven main Soil Groups (Families): Lithosols, Regosols, Alluvial Soils, Arid Soils, Fersiallitic Soils, Paraferrallitic and Ferrallitic Soils. For each of the Groups; topographic, geological, botanical and climatic data is provided, and profile descriptions & analytical data is given for 35 typical soil profiles. The Report is accompanied by a colour Soil Map, at 1:1,000,000 scale, with a comprehensive legend. This soil map of the Mocamedes District is the third sheet of the General Soil Map of Angola.See also WOSSAC Id. #25487
