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 Huila District in the west central part of Angola. The field survey was undertaken during 1956. The Report, which is in the Portuguese language, includes the classification and description of six main Soil Groupings ("Agrupamentos"; soil units of categorical level below the great soil groups and close to the definition of soil series). For each of the Groupings; topographic, geological, botanical and climatic data is provided, and physicochemical and mineralogy of the clay fraction analytical data is given for 91 typical soil profiles. The Report is accompanied by a colour Soil Map, at 1:500,000 scale, with a comprehensive legend. This soil map of the Huambo District is the second sheet of the General Soil Map of Angola.
