Pan, a term applied to the bed or flooring upon which the cultivated soil lies or is plac ed. Mr. Marshall, in speaking of the Norfolk soils, remarks, that“ immediately under the cultivated soil, a hard crust, provincially* the pan,’ occurs univer- sally. And under this an unfathomable ocean of sand may be considered as the prevailing substra- tum. In some places a hungry gravel, but more frequently an absorbent brick earth is the imme- diate subsoil.”’
