The electrical resistivity and magnetization have been measured for a high quality single crystal of the intermediate valence compound CePd/sub 3/. The magnetization was measured in the temperature range 4--175 K. After correcting for a small Curie-like impurity contribution, the susceptibility chi decreased with increasing temperature from the 4 K value of 1.85 x 10/sup -3/ emu/mole of CePd/sub 3/. The electrical resistivity rho was measured from 1.2--300 K. A resistance ratio rho(300 K)/rho(4.2 K) = 11.5 was obtained. At low temperature (T<8 K), rho varied quadratically with temperature having an intercept of 9.3 x 10/sup -8/ ..cap omega.. m at 0 K.
