The behavior of the H-alpha line in the spectrum of the magnetic variable Ap star Beta CrB over the star's 18.487-day rotation period is examined on the basis of 23 spectrograms obtained with a dispersion of 6 A/mm. Variations in the equivalent width of the H-alpha line with a maximum amplitude of 3 to 4 A are detected which have a period equal to the rotation period of the star. It is found that the most widely differing H-alpha profiles are observed at phases 0.00 and 0.33, which correspond to the minimum and maximum values, respectively, of the star's magnetic-field strength.
