Summary Abstract:	Based on soil survey works, which began in 1946, this Report presents a systematic account of part of soil data gathered until 1952, concerning characteristics and distribution of soils of Angola; aiming to contribute to the subsequent reconnaissance soil surveys undertaken for the preparation of a General Soil Map of Angola (ref.; reports published as part of the series "Memorias da Junta de Investigacoes do Ultramar"). This Report, sets out a proposed classification of the soils of Angola at a "Grouping" level, which corresponds to a taxonomic level between Soil Series and the Great Soil Group. The Report (which is in Portuguese and with summaries in English) gives the classification and description of 33 Soil Groupings, including topographic, geological, botanical and climatic data; and full profile descriptions and physical & chemical analytical data is presented for 67 typical soil profiles. 67 black & white photos and 3 (1:1.5M) maps are included.
