Abstract:

On the basis of the best measurements available to date, the assumption that the elevation of the lunar maria is systematically smaller than the elevation of the continents is shown herein to be unjustified. As a result, the figure of the Moon cannot be studied from the distribution of maria on its surface, as Lamar and McGann have suggested in their paper in press, ICARUS, 4 discussed here. Author
