Clay mineral analyses of Caribbean soils illustrate the differences in composition that can arise from differences in topography and parent material, and emphasize the differences between the groups of proposed new engineering classifications of the soils based on these factors. Within one set of environmental conditions the clay mineral assemblage was reasonably constant. Examples are given of local differences in clay type which were correlated with variations in climate and mode of formation.
