A filter for purifying exhaust gas comprising an assembly of plural united silicon carbide members each having a plurality of through-holes arranged side by side along a longitudinal direction, in which end faces at either side of these through-holes are closed in a checkered pattern so as to have a reverse relation of open and close between gas inlet side and gas outlet side and adjacent through-holes are permeable to each other through porous partition walls, characterized in that a plurality of the silicon carbide members are integrally adhered by interposing a sealing member. <IMAGE>
