Note that only the mare basalts (MBAS) and the soils and regolith
breccias (S&RB) are included in this table. The data for highland
monomict rocks (HMCT) and polymict breccias (BX) show so much scatter
that statistics are practically meaningless. For the data listed,
standard deviations are not given in those categories where the number
of analyses (N) is \<3. Abbreviations: N = number of analyses, Std. dev.
= standard deviation, MBAS = mare basalts, S&RB = soils and regolith
breccias, AMET = Antarctic lunar meteorites.

Main sources of data used for this table: **P:** refs. 1\*, 2; **Sc:**

form INAA. In addition to these references, data for a broad range of
miscellaneous minor elements were obtained from *Laul et al.* (1972a,b),
*Laul and Schmitt* (1973a), and *Ma et al.* (1978). Some of the data
plotted but not tabulated for highland monomict rocks are from *Ryder
and Norman* (1979); additional P data for Apollo 11 MBAS are from
*Compston et al.* (1970). For samples from the U.S.S.R. Luna missions,
sources used in addition to those enumerated above are *Albee et al.*
(1972), *Bakos et al.* (1977), *Bansal et al.* (1972), *Barsukov et al.*

Essentially all these data were obtained using INAA. For the Antarctic
lunar meteorites, *Koeberl et al.* (1989) and *Warren et al.* (1989)
list all the published sources used, which are generally based on INAA.

\* The P data reported by Rose and coworkers appear unreliable at
concentrations below roughly 0.04 wt.%.

^†^ The V data reported by Brunfelt and coworkers for Apollo 16 samples
appear unreliable (too high).

^‡^ The Sr data reported by Rose and coworkers for Apollo 12 samples
appear unreliable (too low).

§ Schmitt and coworkers also report Sr data in some of their most recent
papers.
