Peaks in the specific heat of ≦ 4 R are observed in metallic conducting MnAs 1– x P x crystals with 0.03 ≦ x ≦ 0.13 above the magnetic ordering temperatures and are attributed to high‐spin–low‐spin transitions. This suggests a strong local character for the spin moments and would contradict spin‐polarized extended d‐electron states.
