Some general properties of the equations of fluid magnetics are described. A set of standard nondissipative fluid equations coupled with Maxwell's equations by a Lorentz force term and some form of Ohm's law is adoptod. Within this frame there is a considerable amount of flexibility, e.g.. In the choice of an equation of state and of a form of Ohm's law and in the decision to include or omit displacement current, electrostatic forces, and electromagnetic momentum. An important criterion in making these decisions is the mathematical tractability of the resultant equations. (W.D.M.)
