The Percus-Yevick equation is solved for a fluid of hard ellipses in two dimensions. The correlation functions, including the orientation correlation function, are expanded in a set of orthogonal functions and the expansion coefficients are obtained by an iterative algorithm. Pressure and compressibility values are also determined. Orientational ordering is observed, but the isotropic-nematic phase transition observed by Vieillard-Baron (1972, J. chem. Phys., 56, 4729) is not.
