The size of the rotational splitting recently observed (Claverie et al., 1981) is correlated with the 12.2d variation in the measurements of solar oblateness observed by Dicke (1976) and implies a convection zone of depth of 0.1 R &sun;. The near equality of amplitudes of global velocity oscillations (Claverie et al., 1981) of the various m components of the l = 1 and l = 2 modes as seen from the Earth viewing the Sun nearly along the equator is unexpected for pure rotational splitting. It is suggested that a magnetic perturbation is present and an oblique asymmetric magnetic rotator with magnetic fields of a few million gauss is responsible. A more detailed account was submitted to Nature.
