Recently, one of the rapidly oscillating Ap stars, HR 3831, has been found to have an equally split frequency septuplet, though its oscillation seems to be essentially an axisymmetric dipole mode with respect to the magnetic axis which is oblique to the rotation axis (Kurtz et al. 1992; Kurtz 1992). In order to explain this fine structure, we investigate oscillations of rotating magnetic stars by taking account of the perturbations due to the magnetic fields and the rotation. We show that the magnetic field on axisymmetric dipole modes distorts the dipole oscillation pattern to have axisymmetric octapole components so that the frequency pattern becomes a septuplet rather than a triplet, and that the additional effect of the rotation leads the frequency pattern to be asymmetric. The formula allows us to get information about the magnetic fields, the rotation, and the geometrical configuration of the star from the oscillation data.
