A theory of bandwidth anisotropy in metallic ferromagnets developed previously is specialised to the case of 5d electrons in a hexagonal close-packed lattice. This theory is combined with a model 5d electrons in the heavy rare earth metals to give a new theory for the low temperature values of the magnetic anisotropy coefficients in Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Tm.
