    Consider an isolated plane curve singularity. The Seifert form on the second homology group of the Milnor fibre is a certain bilinear form. It determines the intersection form and the monodromy on the Milnor fibre. \textit{W. Burau} proved that for irreducible plane curve singularities the Seifert form determines the topological type. In this paper the author proves that the Seifert form determines the intersection multiplicity of the branches with each other.
