In a toroidally confined non-neutral plasma, in certain parameter regimes it is shown that a fast rotational equilibrium can exist in addition to the slow rotational equilibrium. For a low density plasma, the fast rotational equilibrium is shown to have a much larger inward shift of the streamlines of flow compared to the slow rotational equilibrium. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
