Specific-heat measurements have been performed on the tetragonal ThMn12-type RMn4Al8compounds with R=Y, La, Pr, Nd, Dy and Er in the temperature range 1.5 to 200 K. The compound PrMn4Al8gives rise to a λ-type anomaly at 14 K. No anomalies indicative of magnetic ordering were found above 1.5 K in the specific-heat curves of the RMn4Al8compounds with R=Y, La, Nd, Dy, and Er. From the temperature dependence of the magnetic entropy, it is concluded that the overall crystal-field splitting in the compounds with R=Pr, Nd, Dy, and Er is of the order of 200 K or even less.
