Theoretical curves are found for the background conductivity of a peridotic model of the moon for various temperature distributions. The local discontinuity in conductivity at depths of 200-400 km from the surface is more likely due to a spinel-garnet phase transition than to a local increase in the concentration of conducting inclusions. The temperature within the moon is estimated to increase from 250 K near the surface to 800 K at a depth of 200 km, reaching 1050 K at a depth of 600 km. The stratification of the moon is amended to include three major regions: a pyroxenite shell from the surface to a depth of 200 km, a peridotite shell from 200 to 600 km, and an olivine shell below 600 km.
