Expectations are presented with regard to the concentration profile and the extent of superfluidity in thin films of /sup 3/He-/sup 4/He in a Van der Waals field. A thermodynamic method of analysis is outlined which, although treating a somewhat idealized configuration, is amenable to experimental confirmation. The connection between this analysis and experiment is discussed in detail. (AIP)
