The i m p o r t a r ~ e o f t h e s t u d y of t h e drill~bility of rocks is describedj and various suggeetioms are made for evolvimg a drillabillty index. The relationship between drillability a~d the physical and mechanical ~roperties of rocks is discussed. A consideration of power input for the study of drillability is included amd the evolution of a drillability imdex by measuring crater vol~nes produced by an impact tester is mentioned. ~rillabillty based on mlcrobit drilling of small samples is also briefly discussed.

SCI.VT, N4,1971, P~24-426. The results of the study indicate that the relative resistance to punch penetration increases with depth. Up to 5 cm~ the relative resistance of the rock varies linearly with the punch penetration depth. The relation is not affected by the type of rock or the shape of the punch.
