Some exact solutions of the steady M.H.D. equations for an inviscid infinitely conducting fluid are discussed, and a generalization of the Prendergast model for an idealized magnetic star is obtained, in which there is a finite azimuthal swirl velocity of the fluid. The flow in all examples is bounded by a sphere and expressions are found for the distribution of energy between the fluid motion and magnetic field.
