Magnetization measurements were performed for intermetallic compounds GdNi5-xSn1+x and TbNi5-xSn1+x in the temperature range from 4.5 K to 280 K and in magnetic field up to 50 kOe. Complex magnetic phase diagram was revealed for both compounds. The results are discussed assuming three-sublattice magnetic structure and partial disordering of the structure.
