The concentrations of cobalt, zirconium, nickel, copper, vanadium, molybdenrun, manganese, and zinc have been determined in 10 profiles of terra rossas and 9 of rendzinas from South Australia.

This difference is reflected in the concentrations found in the underlying calcareous material, and can account for the widespread deficiencies in cobalt and copper which occur ill the South-East.
