  We have succeeded in synthesizing of single crystals of a new intermetallic
compound, Ce$_{3}$Rh$_{4}$Pb$_{13}$. Magnetic susceptibility measurements
indicate that the Ce moments are highly localized, despite the metallic
character of the electrical resistivity. Heat capacity measurements reveal that
the cubic crystal electric field lifts the six-fold degeneracy of the Ce$^{3+}$
ground state, with the quartet state separated by approximately 60 K from the
doublet ground state. The magnetic field dependence of the heat capacity at low
temperature indicates a further splitting of the doublet, but no sign of
magnetic order was found above 0.35 K.
