We have determined the 4[ital f] occupation number [ital n][sub [ital f]] of the Kondo insulator Ce[sub 3]Bi[sub 4]Pt[sub 3] over the temperature range 10--300 K using x-ray-absorption measurements near the Ce [ital L][sub III] edge. The compound is weakly mixed valent: [ital n][sub [ital f]] is approximately 0.9 at 10 K and varies slowly with temperature in a manner similar to that observed in metallic mixed-valent rare-earth compounds.
