Scientific paper

Prima facie evidence for the meteoritic bombardment of the Moon is given by the known meteoritic environment of the Earth's atmosphere. The impact by particles of different sizes and the likely damage to the lunar surface are discussed, reference being made to terrestrial craters and experiments with hypervelocity projectiles. An attempt is made to reconcile the formation and distribution of certain features with the results of meteoritic bombardment. In a number of instances the reconciliation is unsatisfactory and it is likely that the cause may be internal. It is pointed out that once a surface layer of dust has been formed, the effect of subsequent impacts by the smaller particles will only very slowly increase the depth.
