Variations in the effective temperatures, surface gravities, electron densities, and atmospheric scale heights of the peculiar magnetic stars Alpha-2 CVn and HD 184905 are determined, primarily from the equivalent widths and profiles of the H-gamma and H-delta lines. It is found that the surface-gravity variations of both stars exhibit two maxima per period, that the effective temperatures vary over the surfaces with amplitudes of close to 1100 K for Alpha-2 CVn and of 650-700 K for HD 184905, and that the surface of Alpha-2 CVn contains hot, dense and cold, rarefied regions coinciding with two iron-peak spots. Both stars are shown to have inhomogeneous atmospheres in different surface regions.
