Abstract:	Specific heat measurements performed in the temperature range 1.5 to 30 K in the compounds CeNi_xPt_{1 - x} with x = 0.5, 0.8 and 0.95 are presented. The analysis of the magnetic entropy enhances the results obtained previously by magnetic measurements: i) the reduction of the cerium moment due to the Kondo effect; ii) the increase of the importance of the Kondo effect in competition with the RKKY interactions when Pt is replaced by Ni. The variation of γ along the series indicates a maximum around x = 0.9 which corresponds to the magnetic instability. It is worth noting that below T_c in the ferromagnetic compounds, C_mag follows a T law, characteristic of magnon dispersion.
