The diffusion parameters of thermal neutrons were measured in water and in solid diphenyl at room temperature by the pulse method. The results of the measurements in water are consistent within the statistical error with the values known in literature. The diffusion parameters obtained in diphenyl are: 1₀ = 286 plus or minus 23 mu sec, D(T₀) = 42940 plus or minus >i>s 1800 cm²sec^-1, L_D= 3.50 plus or minus 0.18 cm, C = 13300 plus or minus 2850 cm⁴ sec^-1 and lambda _t = 0.515 cm.
