The specific heat, mean hadronic mass excited and its fluctuation are connected to particle production yields and properties of baryon and electric charge chemical potentials (value, slope and curvature). A possible divergence of the specific heat as 1/(T{sub 0}-T){sup 2} is discussed. A Hagedorn model with {rho}{approx}m{sup -{tau}}exp({beta}{sub h}m) is studied and restriction on {tau} are analyzed. Limitations imposed by a Q-g transition are mentioned.
