Abstract
FROM the preliminary information and the reference given by Dr. Wyllie and Dr. Gardner, it appears that the difference in their permeability equations may arise from their use of a term for tortuosity. I have avoided this mainly by allowing for the effect of imperfect fit and dead ends and the effect of the smaller pore in a sequence on the average size of the necks connecting the pores. Further details are given in a paper1 which is to appear shortly.
