Neoclassical transport for an elliptic tokamak in all collisional regimes is investigated by the technique of partitioning the velocity space. It is found that in a tokamak of moderate elongation, particle and ion heat confinement times are increased by a factor of sigma/sup 2/, where sigma is the ratio of vertical minor radius to horizontal minor radius. Ripple diffusion in an elliptic tokamak is also studied. Ion heat conductivity due to ripples is reduced by a factor of approximately sigma/sup 2/.
