Following London (1939) in the case of liquid He/sup 4/, a theory of liquid He/sup 3/ has been developed. Liquid He/sup 3/ is described by picturing it as a metal in which the ions and the electrons are replaced by particles of the same kind viz. He/sup 3/ atoms. A fraction of the total number of atoms corresponds to the free electrons in the metal and behaves as an ideal F. D. gas in a potential well, while the rest of the atoms constitute a quasi-crystalline lattice. Agreement between theory and experiment concerning the specific heat, entropy, vapor pressure and nuclear spin magnetic susceptibility (and its variation with pressure) is found to be satisfactory.
