Results of upper critical field measurements on four compounds, Sc/sub 5/Co/sub 4/Si/sub 10/, Sc/sub 5/RH/sub 4/Si/sub 10/, Sc/sub 5/Ir/sub 4/Si/sub 10/, and Y/sub 5/Os/sub 4/Ge/sub 10/ which are superconducting with critical temperatures of 4.75 K, 8.25 K, 8.49 K, and 8.80 K, respectively are given. The WHH theory for the upper critical magnetic field, H/sub c/sub 2//, of a bulk type-II superconductor is utilized to analyze the data. This analysis yields values for the critical field slope, (dH/sub c/sub 2///dT)T/sub c/, between 1 and 11 kG/K and values for H/sub c/sub 2// (T=0) between 5 and 65 kG.
