Summary

Tables and polar diagrams are given for the reflectances of the lunar maria and continents for solar radiation as functions of the angles of incidence and reflection, both measured in the same plane. The data are based on the photographic studies of V.A. Fedorets and on the visual studies of V.V. Sharonov. Some discussion of the possible nature of the lunar surface that would correspond to such reflectance characteristics is included.
