In this paper we have been stud in g the diiieient types of soi 2 s of the Caspian aera (Iran). This aera is characterized by a humid and subhumid subtropical climate. The pseudogley soils are the typical soils of the paddy lands in the Gilan and Mazanderan aeras which have been converted into land because of the recession of the sea. The abundance of the vegetation and the intensité of chemical weathering on Jurassic, cretaceous, and tertiary limestone and conglomerates, sandstone etc... are responsible for the formation of thin cover of brown forest and yellow podzolic soils in the foot of Elburz mountains.Alimardani Mahmoud.
