Abstract
Models of Uranus were computed which match J4 with a 17.24-hr rotation rate as measured by Voyager 2. These models imply an atmospheric enhancement of H2O, NH3, and CH4 of not more than about 30 times the solar value, and have a total planetary ice to rock ratio more than 16. A scenario is presented whereby such high values of I/R may be attained.
