We have investigated the Fe-site substitution effects in the electronic ferroelectric RFe$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ (R=rare earths). It was found that continuous solid solutions were formed for the Mn substitution; RFe$$_{2-x}$$Mn$$_{x}$$O$$_{4}$$ was synthesized for 0$$underline{<}$$x$$underline{<}$$1. On the other hand, the substitution of other cations (such as Cu and Ga) was possible in limited x regions; e.g., Ga could be substituted for 0$$underline{<}$$x$$underline{<}$$0.4-0.5 It was also found that the low-temperature magnetization and the dielectric constant were reduced by the substitution. Considering the mechanism of dielectric response in RFe$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$, the change of the physical properties likely arises from a change of electron transfer between the Fe-site ions.
