The large zero-sound attenuation just below the transition temperature T/sub c/ to a superfluid state in liquid /sup 3/He is anticipated above the transition by an excess attenuation over that for a normal Fermi liquid. The excess is greatest at T/sub c/ but can be readily discerned at temperature several percent above T/sub c/. The excess is largest near melting pressure and exists adjacent to both /sup 3/He-A and /sup 3/He-B.
