A process for making paper comprising forming a cellulosic suspension, flocculating the suspension, draining the suspension on a screen to form a sheet and then drying the sheet, wherein th e cellulosic suspension is flocculated by addition of a water soluble polymer which is selected from a) a polysaccharide or b) a synthetic polymer of intrinsic viscosity at least 4 dl/g and then reflocculated by a subsequent addition of a reflocculating system, wherein the reflocculating system comprises i) a siliceous material and ii) a water soluble polymer. In one aspect the siliceous materi al is added prior to or simultaneous with the water soluble polymer. In an alternative for the water soluble polymer is anionic and adde d prior to the siliceous material.
