The effect of elasticity of the flexible walls on peristaltic transport of an incompressible viscous fluid, with heat transfer, in a two dimensional uniform channel has been investigated under long wave length approximation. The perturbation solution has been obtained in terms of wall slope parameter and closed form expressions have been derived for velocity, temperature and heat transfer. The effects of elastic tension, damping and mass characterizing parameters on temperature and heat transfer have been studied. It is found that heat transfer increases with elastic tension and mass characterizing parameters.
