We report measurements of the temperature dependent magnetic properties of single phase orthorhombic perovskites system associated with space group Pbnm compounds Pr{sub 1-x}(Gd/Nd){sub x}MnO{sub 3} (x=0.3, 0.5, 0.7). Magnetic properties radically changes with the doping of Gd or Nd. A magnetization reversal is observed below the Neel temperature (T{sub N}), in DC magnetization measurements (at 50 Oe) in the doped compounds. The reversal of magnetization may be due to the antiparallel coupling between the two magnetic sublattices (|Pr+ Gd/ Nd | and Mn). The hysteresis plot taken at 50K indicates a ferrimagnetic characteristic and existence of spin canting of ions in the magnetic sublattices.
