Stability of filamentary molecular clouds against fragmentation was studied by means of a normal mode analysis. The model cloud is infinitely long along the axis and has an equilibrium density distribution. It rotates around the axis and is permeated with helical magnetic field strength. The dispersion relation was obtained as a function of rotation and magnetic fields. The model filamentary cloud is infinitely long and axisymmetric around the axis in equilibrium. It is supported against gravity by gas pressure, rotation, and magnetic force when in hydrodynamical equilibrium. The details of the model are described. The model with longitudinal magnetic fields and that with helical magnetic fields are discussed.
