This paper is devoted to a study of the peristaltic motion of a Casson fluid in an inclined channel under the effect of magnetic field. Long wave length and low Reynolds number assumptions are used in solving the problem. Expressions are derived for the pressure rise, volume flow rate and frictional force .The effect of magnetic parameter, amplitude ratio, yield stress, angle of inclination and plug flow on theses are discussed.
