Abstract

A preliminary analysis of slope forms in Buganda has indicated an erosional cycle characterized by both parallel scarp retreat and summit lowering, of which the latter process predominates in the later stages of the cycle. The recognition of characteristic stages in the erosional development of the landscape may provide a means of distinguishing a warped erosion surface occurring at differing altitudes from the products of separate erosion cycles.
