A DATA BANK IS DESCRIBED, TO EQUIP ENGINEERS AND LAND PLANNERS TO APPRAISE TERRAIN CONDITIONS OVER WIDE AREAS FROM WHICH EXISTING INFORMATION IS SPARSE. THE MATCHING OF DATA TO SITE REQUIRES AN INDEX OF TERRAIN DESCRIPTORS, OR A TERRAIN CLASSIFICATION. THIS PAPER PRESENTS THE TERRAIN CLASSIFICATIONS PROPOSED AS INDEXES TO REGIONAL DATA BANKS AND THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM PRACTICAL TRIALS OF THEIR EFFICACY IN THE OXFORD AREA AND IN SOME HOT DESERT AREAS. /DCPL
