The motion of a slender body parallel and very close to a flat interface which separates two immiscible liquids of differing density and viscosity is considered for very small Reynolds numbers. Approximate analytical expressions are obtained for the distribution of forces acting on the slender body. The limiting case of a rigid plane wall yields results obtained previously.
