By comparing the surface and bulk magnetization of smooth, well-ordered Gd samples, we show that the surface has an ordinary transition, i.e., a common Curie temperature for surface and bulk. A quantitative statistical analysis of the temperature dependent magnetization is presented. Critical exponents for both surface, βS0ex0ex=0ex0ex0.83±0.04, and bulk, βB0ex0ex=0ex0ex0.376±0.015, are consistent with the semi-infinite three-dimensional Heisenberg model with homogeneous exchange.
