The results of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic susceptibility measurements in CeSn 3 are presented together with other available data. The magnetic susceptibility of CeSn 3 shows a broad maximum around 135 K and a rapid rise below 30 K. The 119 Sn Knight shift in CeSn 3 in the temperature region 1.2 t o 300 K is not proportional to the bulk susceptibility. The electrical resistivity of CeSn 3 shows a T 2 term at low temperatures as expected in localised spin fluctuation systems, and the coefficient of the electronic specific heat is also very large. These results suggest sizeable 4f occupation near the Fermi level in CeSn 3 .
