The dispersion of the Faraday rotation of the garnets Gd{sub 3}Ga{sub 5}O{sub 12} and Gd{sub 3}Al{sub 5}O{sub 12} in the 440--700-nm region in the 85--295-K temperature interval and the spectral dependence of the Faraday effect in the garnets Y{sub 3}Ga{sub 5}O{sub 12} and Y{sub 3}Al{sub 5}O{sub 12} for wavelengths from 250 to 700 nm are investigated. The contributions to the Faraday rotation caused by the Gd{sup 3+} ions and the diamagnetic lattice of the garnets are separated.
