The authors report heat capacity measurements of {sup 4}He films in Vycor near the critical coverage. The goal of these studies is to determine whether the low temperature phase at coverages below the onset of superfluidity is a glass or an insulator with a gap. The data cover a temperature range of 5 mK to 600 mK. At the lowest temperatures, a CMN DC-SQUID thermometer is used. This thermometer contains 3 mg of CMN to minimize its heat capacity. The sensitivity at 10 mK is better than 500 pK/{radical}Hz. The CMN powder is mixed with a Ag sinter to improve thermal conductivity. The resistance thermometers mounted on the cell are found to be reliable down to 14 mK.
