Abstract
This note deals with steadily rotating nonaxisymmetric pulsar magnetospheres, with the effects of particle inertia fully incorporated. It is pointed out that the equations of motion for the component species of a relativistically streaming nondissipative plasma can be considerably simplified by using the steady-rotation constraint together with a fluxoid conservation law and Endean's Bernoulli-type integral.Keywords
