By using a numerically exact diagonalization technique and a block-extended version of the finite-temperature Lanczos method, we study thermodynamic properties of an $S=1/2$ Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice with an antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interaction $J$ and a four-spin ring-exchange interaction ${J}_{\mathrm{c}}$. Calculations are performed on small clusters under the periodic-boundary conditions. In contrast to the purely triangular case with ${J}_{\mathrm{c}}=0$, the specific heat exhibits a characteristic double-peak structure for ${J}_{\mathrm{c}}/J\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.04$. From the calculations of the entropy and the uniform magnetic susceptibility, it is shown that nonmagnetic excitations exist below the magnetic excitation for ${J}_{\mathrm{c}}/J\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.04$.
