Fejer and Lee (1967) have argued that both the physical picture of Drell et al. (1965) and the ray-tracing equations of Haselgrove cited by Budden (1961) lead for very low frequencies to almost perfect guidance of highly localized 'transverse' perturbations in the magnetic field, at least in the special case where the density and the magnetic field are independent of one of the Cartesian coordinates. The current investigation provides a generalization of the approach considered by Fejer and Lee. Ray-tracing approximations are used to study the magnetospheric propagation of Alfven waves. Even when the ray approximation breaks down, approximate solutions can be obtained if certain conditions are satisfied.
