We measured magnetic susceptibility of single-crystal rare-earth-doped [ital R]Ba[sub 2]Cu[sub 4]O[sub 8] (where [ital R]=Y, Dy, Gd, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) in the normal state along the three principal axes. The anisotropy measured fits well to calculated values obtained from a crystal electric field (CEF) analysis. From our results we developed a general scaling relation for the CEF parameters across the rare-earth series.
