Plastic columns containing fine or medium sand, and capped with fine or medium silt, were leached with distilled water. Both coarse and fine silt moved readily through the medium sand; however, only the fine silt moved appreciably through the fine sand. Deposition of the fine silt in bands was also observed in the fine sand columns.
