Description: The superconducting and the magnetic phase diagram (in <math> x-T \,\!</math> plane) of the pseudo-quaternary <math>(Y_{1-x}Gd_{x})Ni_{2}B_{2}C\,\!</math> series is obtained. Superconductivity is observed to be montonically degraded with Gd-concentration for <math>x < 0.25.\,\!</math> For higher <math>x\,\!</math>, two magnetic transitions are observed. The nature of these transitions and their influence on the measured physical properties will be discussed.
