The stratification curve for liquid He/sup 3/-He/sup 4/ mixtures shows a singularity at the junction with the lambda curve as can be seen on the basis of pure thermodynamic considersions. If the lambda curve and the sratification curve mset each other under a finite angle, there is a diacontinuity in the slope of the stratification curve and in the specific heat at this point. Furthermore, the entropy of dilute mixtures is discussed with respect to Nernst's theorem. (auth)
