IN a previous paper1 I have shown that the correlation of diameter versus depth for lunar craters of different apparent ages can be understood in terms of the former presence of a lunar hydrosphere lasting some milliards of years, affecting the relative dimensions at crater formation. Furthermore, this correlation of dimensions included the lunar maria, and was extended later2 to include the terrestrial ocean basins (corrected for isostasy from the mensuration of present basins). The purpose of this communication is to correct a difficulty in the correlation curves for craters formed explosively in water.
