Abstract
MR. FIRSOFF'S clarification of ‘lunavoes’ is very helpful, and I must apologize for having confused his explanation of rays with Spurr's explanation of radial gullies. My argument against the presence of water applies equally to ice and snow, which would be dissociated by solar ultra-violet radiation in the vapour phase.
