He describes a modified centrifuge method preferred by him. Under a discussion of the physical constants of soils, Free31 discusses the value of mechanical analysis as a soil constant, and shows that there are three serious errors in the determination, all of which impress themselves upon one making and using such analyses. They are: "(1) disunity of expression; (3) failure to express conditions within the limits of individual groups; and (3) failure to take account of variations in the shapes of the particles." Yet he emphasizes, and rightly so, "that mechanical analysis is by no means useless nor to be belittled as a means of soil investigation."32 Moisture equivalents.--This determination showed quite distinct averages for the types, though there was considerable variation within each of the types.
