The magnetic properties, especially the magnetostriction, of ferroxplana $Zn_{1-x}$$M_X$Y(x=0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) were investigated at room temperature. In general, the Curie temperature and the permeability of ferroxplana $Zn_{1-X}$$Mn_X$Y increased while the amount of the other phase decrease with increased concentration of dopant $Mn^{2+} for $Zn^{2+}. The magnetostriction constnats K1, K2, K3 and K4 for ZnY were ＋0.3, -5.0, -4.3 and $-4.8{ imes}$$10^{-6} while that for 4Zn^0.8$ $Mn^0.2$Y were ＋2.5, -5.4, -6.0 and $-3.4{ imes}10^{-6}$, respectively.
