Organic matter from an arable soil derived from base rich parent material was extracted by alkali and fractionated on the basis of solubility in 0.1 N HCl, hot water and hot 6 N HCl and by selective adsorption on charcoal. The distribution of associated metals was determined and Cu had the largest proportion, 15%, associated with the organic matter. Moderate proportions of the total Al, Co, Ni, and V (3-8%) but only small amounts ( 1%) of the Mn, Fe, Ti, Cr, Ba and Sr were extracted from the soil by alkali. The Fe and Ti were concentrated mainly in the humic fraction whereas Mn and V were both found largely in the fulvic acid. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the various fractions were examined and attempts made to relate the spectra to the forms of some of the metals present. In the humic acid fraction Cu was present partly as a copper porphyrin-type complex but in the fulvic acid it was in some other complexed form. VO 2+ occurred in complexed forms in the fulvic acid which were more covalent than VO 2+ humic acid complexes, whereas the Mn 2+ components of the humic and fulvic acids all had a high degree of ionicity.
