During a survey for ultraviolet-excess objects in the plane of the
Galaxy,a 15th-magnitude white dwarf with an unusual absorption spectrum
was discovered. The features are shown to be resolved Zeeman components
of hydrogen in a magnetic field of approximately 13 million gauss. Thus,
this is one of the rare magnetic white dwarfs found via color selection.
