In our paper we study effect of Mn for Fe substitution on magnetic properties of NdFe_{x-1}Mn_{x}O_{3} compounds for x=0 and 0.1, which have been grown by the OFZ technique. The Néel temperature decreases from T_{N1}=691 K to T_{N1}=621 K, and the anomaly in AC susceptibility, related to spin reorientation, vanishes with Mn substitution. Low temperature heat capacity measurement for sample with x=0.1 revealed that substitution of Mn for Fe shifts a Schottky-type anomaly at T_{sh} to higher temperatures. Another anomaly is generated by doping at T_{max}=11 K. The anomaly is smeared out by magnetic field, confirming its magnetic origin.
