Notes	Abstract: The bentonite tunnellig system is shortly to be used to drive part of a sewer tunnel at Warrington, Cheshire. This Note describes experiments with a horizontal permeameter carried out to determine the distance to which the ground is likely to be penetrated by the bentonite slurry. For comparison purposes two other materials were tested as well as the Warrington sand, through which the tunnel is to be driven.
