42 degrees 34 minutes 00 seconds N., and 71 degrees 48 minutes 35 seconds W., NAD 27. Stones range from 0 to 5 percent by volume in the A horizon and upper part of the C horizon and are absent in the lower part of the C horizon. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid in the A horizon and upper part of the C horizon, and from very strongly acid to neutral in the lower part of the C horizon. The O horizon is commonly mucky peat or muck, but the range includes thin layers of peat at the surface. The A horizon is neutral or has hue of 5YR to 2.5Y, value of 2 to 3, and chroma of 0 to 2.
