Abstract
IN his interesting article in NATURE of June 3, p. 787, Prof. F. P. Worley describes some of the effect of fire upon soils. It is not impossible that his observations may apply to soils in tropical Africa, even in the open woodlands where the humus content is low, and leaves are consumed by fire each year.
