Scientific paper
THE communication by McCall1 leads me to make some further comments. It is certainly true that the non-random distribution of the large craters is a serious and probably fatal objection to the impact hypothesis so far as the major formations are concerned, though no doubt many small meteoric craters exist. The Mare Crisium seems to be nothing more than an exceptionally large crater-like formation, and is a member of the great western chain which also includes Petavius and Langrenus, in which case it seems that the other circular-type maria are basically similar. Moreover, in the case where one crater breaks into another, the wall of the broken formaation is perfectly preserved up to the point of junction; Thebit is a good case. This could not be so were the second, younger crater produced by a violent impact. I directed attention to this in 19562, and the same point has since been made independently by Kopal and others.
