Abstract
The specific heats of fcc and d-hcp La have been measured from 1.0-10.0\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K. There is a striking similarity between these two metals, and a law of corresponding states is obeyed for both the superconducting- and normal-state specific heats. An energy-gap parameter determined from both the temperature-dependent electronic specific heat and from the free-energy difference is $3.7k{T}_{c}$, in good agreement with the BCS value. No evidence is found for an $f$-band contribution to the superconducting characteristics.
