Hatboro and Kinkora are poorly drained. Chester, Elioak, Glenelg, and Manor soils are on uplands. Codorus and Hatboro soils are on floodplains. Delanco, Elsinboro, and Kinkora soils are on terraces. Surface runoff is slow.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderate to moderately rapid in the underlying material.
The majority of the areas of Comus soils are used as pasture or are cultivated. Corn and soybeans are the principle crops. Native vegetation is Northern red oak, yellow poplar, red maple and black walnut. The series is of moderate extent. Howard County, Maryland, 1965.
