We explore the possibility that the P - dotP distribution of observed pulsars can be understood in terms of a model of a rotating neutron star that possesses two types of magnetic fields, a fossil magnetic field of O (1010-13) G at the stellar surface, and the field due to the ferromagnetic core of a neutron star, which is assumed to be of O (1014-15) G. This model, when combined with the assumption of an appropriate mass distribution, together with the observational selection effect on an assumed magnetic dipole pulse luminosity proportional to P -4, is shown to be consistent with the `period clustering' of the observed SGRs and AXPs.
