The magnetic behavior of UBr/sub 3/ is explained by an anisotropic exchange molecular field model. The two magnetic phase transitions at T/sub N/ = 5.3 K and T/sub t/ = 3 K are obtained as a result of mini- mizing the free energy with respect to the relative occupation probabilities of crystal-field levels. Below T/sub t/ all U-ion moments are ordered; for T/sub t/
