Electrical resistivity, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and high-field magnetization measurements have been performed on the ferromagnet UFeP with the cubic crystal structure. The ferromagnetic ordering at ,=,3.1 K, a small saturation moment of 1.3 /U, together with the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, are found to be well explained by considering the 5 crystalline electric field schemes for site symmetry and the magnetic exchange interaction.
