The phase transition from the paramagnetic to the antiferromagnetic state in dysprosium and holmium is investigated by the method of observing μ+-meson precession in a transverse magnetic field at temperatures Τ = 100-300°K. The abrupt change in the amplitude and in the rate of damping of the μ^ιηββοη precession at the Neel temperature TN demonstrates the effectiveness of the μ+-meson method of investigating the antiferromagnetic transition.
