The closed set of relativistic hydrodynamical equations describing strongly magnetized collisionless plasma with an anisotropic pressure tensor is offered. This model is the generalization of Chew--Goldberger--Low [Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A [bold 236], 112 (1956)] theory for the relativistic case. It is shown that at high temperatures the equation of state differs significantly from the ones used earlier.
