The effect of neutron star cooling on the evolution of the magnetic field concentrated in a degenerate envelope is investigated. Computations are performed for four models in which the fields occupy surface layers with densities rho(z0) = 10 exp 10, 10 exp 11, 4 x 10 exp 11, and 6 x 10 exp 11 g/cu cm, respectively, where z is the depth from the surface and z0 is the thickness of the layer occupied by the field. It is shown that in the cases under consideration, field decay occurs mainly after crystallization of the layers with z approximately equal to z0. At the early stage the decay is determined by the conductivity due to electron scattering on phonons; at the late stage - on impurities.
