The anisotropy of charge transport was investigated in the antiferromagnetic II state of GdB₆ from precise measurements of transverse magnetoresistance. Based on the data obtained we detected a complicated behavior of magnetoresistance curves which are characterized by the appearance of considerable hysteresis on the field and angular dependences below T_{N2}. Moreover it was shown that the system GdB₆ is sensitive to cooling-warming prehistory. The data analysis allowed to reconstruct magnetic H-T phase diagram of GdB₆ along main crystallographic directions (H||⟨001⟩,⟨110⟩,⟨111⟩) and to propose additional phase transition inside AF II phase at H₁ ≈ 0.5 T.
