5. 1 structures and even more complicated arrangements with molecular tilt and splay of the polarization have also been proposed by Coleman et al. [7]. We will not discuss this problem here.

14. 1 phase, the orientation of the extinction brushes would imply that the molecular tilt is opposite for the columns with opposite polarization.
15. All the possibilities of nontilted columnar rectangular phases are also compatible with the observed textures and exhibit the same values of the birefringence.
