This paper examines the deformation of a solitary wave due to a slow variation of the bottom topography. Differential equations which determine the slow variation of the parameters of a solitary wave are derived by a certain averaging process applied to the exact in viscid equations. The equations for the parameters are solved when the bottom topography varies only in one direction, and when the wave evolves from a region of uniform depth. The variation of amplitude with depth is determined and compared with some recent experimental results.
