Lutetium sesquicarbide was prepared by a high-pressure high-temperature treatment. Superconductivity did not appear unless 40 kbar was applied during synthesis. Measurements were made of the transition temperature and the second critical magnetic field. The transition temperature decreased on increase in the lattice parameter and its highest value was about 15/sup 0/K.
