By using the Sagdeev pseudopotential method, ion-acoustic solitary waves are studied in a collisionless, unmagnetised single electron-temperature plasma with adiabatic positive and negative ion drifts having equal ion-temperatures (particular case). The effect of ionic temperature and negative ions on solitary waves is discussed for the plasmas having (He+, O-), (He+, Cl-) and (H+, O-) ions.
