30. It has been pointed out by Yu. Kagan et al. [Phys. Lett. A 143, 477 (1990)] that if the adsorbate density on the surface of the liquid is high, the adsorption process is not dominated by ripplon-assisted processes, but rather, by adsorption into a surface condensate with simultaneous emission of a phonon. This interesting observation is not relevant to the experiments analyzed in detail in § 3B & C [15,18].

37. To good approximation, the film surface is an equal potential energy surface, so that mgh+V(d) is a constant. Here, V(d) is the potential energy of a He atom at distance d from the wall surface, and h is the height along the cell wall. Hence, the film thickness decreases rapidly with height.
