ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe authors would like to extend grateful appreciation to the following people : J . Pettisfor word processing and desktop publication ; D. Irvine and B . Fisher, University of Guelph, forcartography; C. Fitzgibbon, University of Guelph, for general advice on format and assistance witherosion ratings ; I . Shelton, Agriculture Canada, for providing erosion interpretations and editorialassistance ; B . Grant for technical assistance.INTRODUCTIONDuring the early 1950's, Soil Survey of the New Liskeard-Englehart Area, Report No . 21of the Ontario Soil Survey (1), was published . It contained a soil map of 26 townships of theTimiskaming District, at a scale of 1 inch = 1 mile . This report and map are now out of print.Soil mapping of the Ville-Marie map sheet area was completed during the 1960's, for theARDA, Canada Land Inventory program, at scales of .1:50000 and 1:250000 (2) . These mapsincorporated soil information from the soil map of Report No . 21 . They have been issued, onrequest, as blueprint copies with a separate extended legend . They will still be available from theOntario Institute of Pedology, but have been amalgamated into fewer and larger maps, withattached, extended legends .The information from the original soil survey report of the New Liskeard-Englehart areahas been incorporated into this report on the Ontario portion of N.T.S. 31M, entitled "Soils of theVille-Marie Map Sheet". The original draft was prepared by the :ate John Gillespie . The chapteron soil management, and assistance with soil interpretations, were provided by John Rowsell ofthe New Liskeard College of Agricultural Technology.
