Our previous investigations of the magnetic and electrical properties of the UCu₃M₂Al₇ alloys where M = Cr, Mn and Fe are being extended now to the examination of the specific heat and thermoelectric power. The specific heat has been measured in the temperature range 1.2 - 70 K in magnetic field H = 0 and 3T using a homemade and fully automatic calorimeter, whereas the thermoelectric power has been measured from 6 to 300 K emploing a differential method with copper as reference material. The specific heat vs. temperature plot exhibits only minute influence of magnetic field and no anomaly in the investigated temperature region. However, the coefficient of the electronic specific heat is enhanced amounting to about 200 mJ/molK² at high temperature and to about 400 mJ/molK² at low temperature. Strongly correlated electrons or crystallographic disorder are considered as a reason for these values. The thermoelectric power demonstrates moderate values in whole investigated temperature range.
