NUMERICAL CLASSIFICATION OF SELECTED LANDSLIDES 113
dominated bot h by flow and by translational failure. Where possible, this four-fold
division should be supplemented by Skempton' s depth/length ratio.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The author is indebted to Mr. C. F. Pain (Australian National University) for his con-
siderable help and critical comment during field work. Mr. P. W. Milne (Division of Com-
puting Research, CSIRO, Canberra) provided invaluable advice and assistance with
computing procedures. Professor G. H. Dury (The University of Wisconsin), R. J. Wasson,
M. F. Clarke and M. A. J. Williams (Macquarie University) all made valuable criticisms of
a draft of the manuscript. Financial assistance during field work and for comput i ng was
provided by The University of Sydney and Macquarie University.
