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 Cabinda District in the north of Angola. The field survey was undertaken during 1959. The Report, which is in the Portuguese language, includes the classification and description of 10 main Soil Groupings ("Agrupamentos"; soil units of average taxonomic level corresponding to the soil "Family"). 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 46 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 Cabinda District is the fourth sheet of the General Soil Map of Angola.
