The superfluid densities in a mixture of neutron and proton superfluids are discussed within Fermi-liquid theory. There are the usual diagonal densities ρnn and ρpp but also off-diagonal densities ρnp and ρpn which represent coupling between the two species. We express these quantities solely in terms of the Fermi momenta and the Landau parameter fpn1 in a way that explicitly satisfies the Galilean invariance constraints ρpp+ρpn=mpnp and ρnn+ρpn=mnnn. The results are of astrophysical interest, e.g., in a discussion of the damping of gravitational instability in rapidly rotating neutron stars or of post-glitch relaxation of pulsars.
