The results of recently developed Monte Carlo methods for simulation of strongly associating fluids show an apparent disagreement with Wertheim's theory of associating fluids. In this comment we show that the disagreement observed arises largely from approximations used for the reference-fluid pair distribution function required by the theory. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
