Measurements between 1 and 10 K show that CeNi2 and CeCo2 have large electronic specific heats represented by gamma =24.9 and 38.2 mJ mole-1 K-2 respectively. Possible origins of these large values are discussed. A small specific heat anomaly is found at 5.9 K in all specimens, and is believed to be due to uncombined cerium, possibly in the cubic gamma form.
