7. A small region of intermediate tilt phase has been found in eicosanoic acid [M. K. Durbin, A. Malik, A. G. Richter, R. Ghaskadvi, T. Gog, and P. Dutta, J. Chem. Phys. 106, 8216 (1997)]. It is not known if this phase exists in other acids or in the acetates.

9. have observed a NN tilted phase in methyl hexadecanoate in diffraction studies and their results have recently been confirmed: E. Teer, C. M. Knobler, S. Siegel, D. Vollhardt, and G. Brezesinski (unpublished). A NN phase has not been found in other esters.
