Magnetic fields contribute to the splitting of the degeneracy of modes of like order and degree. The splitting is estimated for some simple hypothetical toroidal magnetic field configurations in the sun, and the results are compared with previous asymptotic estimates. Splitting by a field confined to a thin layer at the base of the convection zone is found not to agree with recent measurements.
