We report the low-temperature susceptibility and specific heat for single crystals of ${\mathrm{Pr}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{La}}_{x}{\mathrm{Os}}_{4}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{12}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}(0\ensuremath{\leqslant}x\ensuremath{\leqslant}1)$. The ionic properties of the material, characterized by the energy spectrum of crystalline electric field (CEF) levels of Pr, are unchanged by La doping. The average ${T}_{c}$ is only weakly affected by La substitution and varies approximately linearly between the end compounds. The discontinuity in the specific heat divided by temperature $C∕T$ at ${T}_{c}$ is drastically reduced from about $800\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{mJ}∕{\mathrm{K}}^{2}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{mol}$ for $x=0$ to the value of ${\mathrm{LaOs}}_{4}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{12}$ near $x=0.3$. This behavior of a superconducting transition implies a collective origin of the heavy-fermion state in ${\mathrm{PrOs}}_{4}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{12}$. We suggest that fluctuations of the anti-ferro-quadrupolar order parameter are responsible for this heavy-fermion state.
