Note: / ln May 1962 the McGill University Savanna Research Project wasestablished and has been conducted since that date in the Department ofGeography p McGill University and in the savannas of the Rupununi Di strict pBritish Guiana and the Territorio do Rio Brancop Brazi!.It is generally recognised that although a very wide range of theoryhas been propounded to explain the nature and origin of savannas p no onehas yet brought forward a single convincing viewpoint which has met withuniversal acceptance. One reason for this is that the majority of theoriesextant are based upon inadequate fie ld data with almost a total lack ofexperimental evidence. The McGill Univers ity Sa vanna Research Projectwas set up for the purpose of initiating an experimental and observati onalfield programme which it was hoped would shed light upon the ecologicalrelations of the savanna p and would ultimately enable an explanation to bemade of the nature and distribution of the savanna vegetation of the region .
