The low temperature specific heat C(H) of several rare-earth manganites (La_(0.7)Sr_(0.3)MnO_(3), Nd_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)MnO_(3), Pr_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)MnO_(3), La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO$_(3), La_(0.5)Ca_(0.5)MnO_(3), La_(0.45)Ca_(0.55)MnO_(3) and La_(0.33)Ca_(0.67)MnO_(3)) was measured as a function of magnetic field. We observed behaviour consistent with thermodynamic expectations, i.e., C(H) decreases with field for ferromagnetic metallic compounds by an amount which is in quantitative agreement with spin wave theory. We also find that C(H) increases with field in most compounds with a charge-ordered antiferromagnetic ground state. In compounds which show evidence of a coexistence of ferromagnetic metallic and antiferromagnetic charge-ordered states, C(H) displays some unusual non-equilibrium effects presumably associated with the phase-separation of the two states. We also observe a large anomalous low temperature specific heat at the doping induced metal-insulator transition (at x = 0.50) in La_(1-x)Ca_(x)MnO_(3).
