Temperature-dependent transport and magnetic measurements on Sr{sub 2}Y{sub 0.5}Ca{sub 0.5}Co{sub 2}O{sub 7} indicate that ferromagnetism appears along with a crossover between two forms of variable-range-hopping (VRH) conductivity on cooling. Efros-Shklovskii (ES)-type VRH conduction was found below approximately 30 K, transformed from Mott-type VRH at higher temperature. The magnitude of the Coulomb gap and the Mott-ES VRH crossover temperature are {approx}57 K and {approx}170 K, respectively. These are unusually large compared to those of nonmagnetic disordered materials. The peculiar electronic state for the ferromagnetic Coulomb gap is probably due to Coulomb correlations among d electrons in the disordered system.
