The zero field moment of Gd has been measured at 4.2K for a single crystal prepared by solid state electrotransport. It is magnetically very soft: the moment is (7.630+or-0.010) mu <sub>B</sub> per atom in the b direction and is slightly smaller in the c direction. The conduction electron polarization is 15% higher than previously estimated. Due to its small value the conduction electron susceptibility could not be measured accurately.
