The ternary silicides and germanides RNiX_{2} (R - rare earth, X = Si or Ge) with the orthorhombic CeNiSi_{2}-type structure are investigated by magnetometric measurements. CeNiSi_{2}, CeNiGe_{2} and SmNiGe_{2} have a nonmagnetic state in low temperatures. The compounds with R = Pr and Nd are ferromagnets while those containing R = Gd-Er are antiferromagnets. The de Gennes scaling of the Néel temperatures indicates a strong influence of the crystalline-electric field effects.
