Abstract
The elastic constants of intermetallic compound PrNi5 with a hexagonal crys tal structure have been investigated by the ultrasonic measurement. For the present single crystal we have observed the elastic softening of C-44 belo w 40 K. It is ascribed to the quadrupolar response for the crystalline elec tric held state of PrNi5.
