Abstract
Second-sound propagation is considered, both when collisions between elementary excitations do and when they do not conserve total number. Simple expressions are derived for the velocity in each case. Assuming number conservation in roton-roton collisions, the velocity of roton second sound is found to be , where is the momentum at the roton minimum.
