The static magnetization of 3He film adsorbed on sintered silver powder has been measured for coverages from 0.10 to 0.54 atoms/»2 in steps of 0.02 atoms/»2 and at a coverage of 4.5 atoms/»2. Below 0.20 atoms/»2 the magnetization well obeys the Curie law, while above that coverage a ferromagnetic tendency appears. The coverage dependence of the magnetization greatly differs from that for graphite. At 0.23 atoms/»2 the magnetization has apeak like that for graphite; however, the magnitude of the peak is not so large. Furthermore, a multipeak structure is found in the isotherm of the magnetization at 0.2 mK. It has two prominent peaks at 0.23 and 0.29 atoms/»2, and two other peaks are found at 0.35 and 0.41 atoms/»2. These appear periodically with an interval of 0.06 atoms/»2, which is nearly equal to the coverage of one liquid layer.

Precise measurement of the surface area of the measurement cell showed that this area should be revised from 5.15 m2 to 8.94m2. The number of layers in the results of Ref. 2 should be changed to about half the value shown.
