The results of a measurement of the slowing down distribution in water of neutrons from a point fission source to indium resonance energy, 1.458 ev, are given. The second, fourth, sixth, and eighth moments of the measured distribution are calculated and have the values, r̄2=184.7 cm2, r̄4=1.222×105 cm4, r̄6=2.27×108 cm6, and r̄8=8.6×1011 cm8.
