Abstract
The surface photometric observations of the Moon made by various authors are compared with the author's theoretical scattering law (Lumme, 1971), and a good agreement is obtained. The integrated brightness of the Moon has also been calculated from these different sets of data and then compared with the observed brightness. Some differences between the different observations were found.
