The solutions obtained by the application of a novel numerical technique to the problem of the structure of axisymmetric rotating magnetic stars are found to differ from those of Mestel and Moss (1977), in that a time-dependent version of the MHD equation is solved on a two-dimensional grid. Models rotating relatively rapidly, which retain a comparatively low ratio of internal to surface magnetic flux over ohmic time-scales, can be found. It is suggested that the properties of rapidly rotating models with large angles chi between their axes may be radically different from those with small chi, inasmuch as magnetic flux concentration beneath the surface is not likely to occur for large chi.
