Precise specific heat of barium titanate single crystals of different quality has been measured with special attention to the temperature region above the ferroelectric phase transition. It is shown that excess specific heat of the multiaxial barium titanate in the paraelectric phase has a fluctuation nature and its temperature dependence is in accordance with the theoretical predictions of Levanyuk theory for multiaxial ferroelectrics. In this study the first observation of fluctuation contribution to the specific heat is presented.
