Bibliography
A bibliography of articles entered into the data base at the Lunar and Planetary Institute Library from November 1982 through January 1983 is presented. An abstract of each article is given. The subjects covered by the articles include: the motion of the moon and dynamics of the earth-moon system: shape and gravity field of the moon; the physical structure of the moon, its thermal and stress history; the morphology of the lunar surface, the origin and stratigraphy of lunar formations, and mapping of the moon; the chemical composition of the moon, lunar petrology, mineralogy, and crystallography; electromagnetic properties of the moon; the planets; and other objects, including asteroids, comets, meteorites, and cosmic dust.

Selenodetic control network
Details for identifying the first 66 reference points of a selenodetic control network are presented. These reference points consist of craters having diameters larger than 8 km and which are therefore detectable on most plates used so far in lunar photogrammetric studies. The distribution of the adopted 211 reference points on Blagg-Mueller (1935) maps is given along with the Blagg-Mueller catalog number of each crater. The correspondence is indicated among the Blagg-Mueller number, the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Catalog number, and the frame number of Lunar Orbiter IV photographs on which the craters have been studied.

COSPAR, IAU, LSI Colloquium on Lunar Dynamics and Observational Coordinate Systems: Revised abstracts
The proceedings of a colloquium on lunar dynamics and observational coordinate systems are presented. Discussions were held on the establishment of a fundamental reference system and on the lunar ephemerides. Abstracts of the subjects discussed at the meeting are submitted. Some of the topics discussed are: (1) coordinates of the Apollo retroreflectors, (2) determination of lunar baselines, (3) numerical series for the variations of lunar coordinates, (4) fundamental craters for establishing a lunar coordinate system, and (5) composite lunar gravity fields.
