It is not feasible to cite all of the published work and experience from many countries which has provided the basis for the present document. Two sources, however, marked x, below, require special recognition because of their widespread influence on the early development of interpretative classification of soils and land. Reviews, discussions, bibliographies and summaries of land evaluation systems and techniques are marked *.
