Abstract
FOR some time, opinion on the origin of the Moon's craters has been hardening in favour of the meteoric theory and against the volcanic. The recent observation of volcanic activity by Dr. Kozyrev has, in some quarters, produced a reaction in favour of the volcanic origin. I would like to suggest that this reaction is unnecessary.
