✦ Synopsis

The dynamic heat capacity of nematic liquid crystals just above the clearing point is calculated as an estension of our previous theory of static heot czpxity. The present theory explains semiquantitatively the available esperimentai results of anomalous ultrasonic absorption and dispersion.
