Measurements of magnetic and dielectric properties of single crystalline ErMnO3 establish the Néel and ferroelectric transition temperatures to be 77K and 588K respectively. The dielectric constant of ErMnO3 shows an anomalous jump at T
N. At higher temperatures, the dielectric constant undergoes a significant decrease on application of magnetic fields. The study clearly exhibits multiferroic and magnetoelectric nature of ErMnO3.
