Discusses the chemistry of laterites and bauxites, their mineralogy, internal structures and typical profile. Laterites originate in many different ways and these are described in turn. The final section discusses the palaeoenvironmental value of laterites in relation to planation surfaces, cyclic erosion, inter-regional correlation and climatic change, and comments on laterite in the stratigraphic record.-K.Clayton
