We would like to express our appreciation to Dr. H. Graboske, for supplying us with some of the equation-of-state data, and to Dr. W. Hubbard, for supplying his results prior to publication as well as for useful discussions. We would also like to thank Dr. Yu. Mekler for many thoughtful discussions. This research was supported in part by NASA Grant NCA 2 OR 340-002.

N2 - We present a series of models of Uranus and Neptune in which the relative amounts of (1) rock, (2) ices, and (3) hydrogen and helium are allowed to vary. By fitting the density and the gravitational quadruppole moment, the model composition can be determined. Because of the ambiguity in the rotation periods of these planets, several possible models are presented and discussed.
