The Culloden series is the third most extensive. These soils are t)Cl.\LEd chiefly in south-western {inns County and in south-eastern Queens. The dominant texture of he surface soil is sandy loam. mt the subsoils are loose. porous md frequently gravelly. The water iolding capacity is low and fertility H difficult to maintain. A con- '.irlr~ra.ble area was once cleared ind cultivated but has been allow- d to revert to woodland. Much if the land that is cleared at pre- ient has been abondomed or neg-

They vary from heavy fine sandy loam to clsty loam. the latter predominating, and are classed among the better agricul- tural soils of the Province. Ow- ing to drainage conditions and texture. their suitability for all farm crops is more limited than that of the Charlottetown series.
