Topics related to the mineralogy and petrology of lunar pristine rocks are considered, along with subjects concerning the mineralogy and geochemistry of lunar breccias. Other studies considered are connected with the lunar regolith, lunar surface geology, and aspects of lunar structure and evolution. Investigations regarding meteorites are reported, and a description is provided of explorations of Mars and Venus, giving attention to regional geology, surface properties, and the composition of Venus. Studies of the Galilean satellites are related to an Io thermal model with intermittent volcanism, the microstructure and particulate properties of the surfaces of Io and Ganymede, the structures on Europa, the sputter-generation of planetary coronae, the tectonic deformation of Galileo Regio and limits to the planetary expansion of Ganymede, and dark-ray craters on Ganymede. Experimental and theoretical studies concerning impact cratering are also considered.

Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts, which has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969, is devoted to the recording, summarizing and indexing of astronomical publications throughout the world. It is prepared under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union (according to a resolution adopted at the 14th General Assembly in 1970). Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts aims to present a comprehensive documenta tion of literature in all fields of astronomy and astrophysics. Every effort will be made to ensure that the average time interval between the date of receipt of the original literature and publication of the abstracts will not exceed eight months. This time interval is near to that achieved by monthly abstracting journals, compared to which our system of accumu lating abstracts for about six months offers the advantage of greater convenience for the user. Volume 31 contains literature published in 1982 and received before July 15, 1982; some older literature which was received late and which is not recorded in earlier volumes is also included. We acknowledge with thanks contributions to this volume by Dr. J. Bouska, Prague, who surveyed journals and publications in Czech and supplied us with abstracts in English .
