Abstract
Specific-heat measurements on , and 0.47, , , have determined the coefficient of the normal-state conduction electron specific heat, and shown well-defined specific-heat anomalies at that are consistent with the value of and BCS expressions. These results contradict the suggestion in a recent Letter that is several orders of magnitude greater than these experimental values and that the absence of a correspondingly large specific-heat anomaly constitutes evidence that the transition is an Ehrenfest fourth-order transition.
