We generalize the Boltzmann form of the collision term for collisions 
in magnetic field. We analyze electron-ion collisions in the case 
when
electron cyclotron period is less than the duration of a close 
collision
in isotropic plasma. The differential cross section is obtained for 
this case.
The effect of drastic change in Coulomb collision frequency on the 
transfer
of cyclotron radiation in photospheres of magnetic white dwarfs is 
discussed.
