The Berkshire and Monadnock soils do not have redoximorphic features in the spodic horizons and have moderate or moderately rapid permeability throughout. Lyman soils are shallow to bedrock and Tunbridge soils are moderately deep to bedrock. The poorly drained and somewhat poorly drained Pillsbury soils and the very poorly drained Peacham soils do not have spodic horizons. Sunapee soils are underlain by friable till. Moderately well drained.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderately slow or slow in the substratum.
Areas cleared of stones are used mainly for hay and pasture. A few areas are used for cultivated crops. In forested areas, the principal species are balsam fir, red spruce, eastern hemlock, paper and yellow birch, sugar maple, eastern white pine, northern red oak, and white spruce. The series is of moderate extent. Berkshire County, Massachusetts, 1923.
