This thesis has demonstrated the ways in which podzols in the Sydney Region vary with subtle differences in site. It has clarified the primary factors which must preclude podzol development. The origin of the Agnes Banks Sand Body, and the difficulties encountered in its derivation, have been discussed in detail.
