Popis: Transmission measurements of the total neutron cross section of deuterium have been made with an accuracy of about 2 percent at 29 energies between 0.2 and 22 Mev, using deuterium gas in a cell 1 meter long. The cross section decreases monotonically with increasing energy, and its reciprocal appears to be a linear function of neutron energy over the interval from 1.5 to 22 Mev: $\ensuremath{\sigma}=14.35{({E}_{n}+3.6 \mathrm{Mev})}^{\ensuremath{-}1} \mathrm{barn}.$
