Abstract
Both order parameters of the uniaxial nematic phase are calculated from the conventional rank two spherical harmonic model. The conclusion, based on the calculation and experimental values of the order parameters, is drawn that the rank two model fails more seriously than previously realized to describe the nematic state.
