An investigation of the morphological and physicochemical characteristicsof five soil profiles from Char Kukri Mukri, a remote offshore island of Bangladesh,was undertaken in an effort to evaluate their pedogenesis and to establish theirtaxonomy. The soils were very young, loamy textured with high percentage of siltand were also neutral to alkaline in reaction with high percentage of base saturation.Mica was the dominant clay mineral followed by kaolinite with small amounts ofvermiculites and interstratified minerals. Composition of soil parent materials and theassociated aquic moisture regime dominantly influenced the genesis of these soils.These soils were classed as Typic Endoaquents.
