The relative and absolute ages of individual craters on the moon younger than Imbrium are determined, and the rate of infalls to the moon is calculated as a function of time. It is shown that after the tail of the massive premare bombardment became depleted at least 3 x 10 to the 9th years ago, there was a period of minimal infalls, the rate of infalls increasing steadily up to the present. The infall rate of the geologically recent past 0.3 x 10 to the 9th yr was about two times as great as the rate for the period immediately after the last major lava outpouring 3.2 x 10 to 9th years ago. The absolute and relative crater ages are given in a table.
