Abstract
The technique of a previous paper is used to evaluate the gravity darkening in some published models of rotating magnetic stars. For most of the models studied, there is only a small departure from the von Zeipel relation. However, for stars with a large ratio of magnetic energy to rotational energy the variation of emergent flux with gravity could be quite strong. This could be relevant for a few Ap stars.Keywords
