Sulpicius Gallus. A light spot near. Manilius. Surrounded by a light halo and streaks. Taquet. Has a prominent nimbus, and indications of very delicate streaks. Plinius A. Is surrounded by a well-marked halo. Posidonius gamma. Among the hills E. of this formation a light spot resembling Linne, according to Schmidt. He first saw it in 1867, when it had a delicate black spot in the centre. Dr. Vogel observed and drew it in 1871 with the great refractor at Bothkamp. These observations were confirmed by Schmidt in 1875 with the 14-feet refractor at Berlin. Littrow. A very bright light-spot with streaks, on the site of a little crater and well-known cleft E. of this ring-plain. Romer. A light-surrounded mountain on the E. Macrobius. Two light-surrounded craters on the E. of this formation, the more northerly being the brighter. Cleomedes A. (On the floor.) Surrounded by a nimbus and rays. Large crater, A, on the E. has also a nimbus and rays. Agrippa. Exhibits faint rays. Godin. Exhibits faint rays. Proclus.

A very small bright crater on a dark surface: surrounded by a faint nimbus. Apollonius. Among the hills S. of this, there is a small bright streak system. Eimmart. There is a large white spot N.W. of this. Geminus is associated with a system of very delicate rays. Menelaus. A brilliant object. It is traversed by a long ray from Tycho. SECOND QUADRANT. Anaxagoras. The centre of an important ray-system. Timocharis is surrounded by a pale irregular nimbus and faint rays, most prominently developed on the W. side of the formation. Copernicus. Next to Tycho, the most extended ray-centre on the visible surface. Some distance on the E., in E. long. 25 deg., N. lat. 11 deg., lies a very small but conspicuous system, and in E. long. 22 deg., N. lat. 8 deg. a bright light spot among little hills. Gambart A.
