LAGRANGE.—A larger but similar formation, 100 miles in diameter, associated with the last on the N.E., with a complex terraced border, including peaks of 9000 feet, a bright crater on the W., and a ring-plain on the N.W. The inner slope of the E. wall is a fine object at sunrise, when libration is favourable. The floor is dark and devoid of detail.
BOUVARD.—A great irregular enclosure, which appears to be still larger than Lagrange, S.E. of Piazzi, and close to the limb. It is bounded by a very lofty rampart, rising at a peak on the W. to 10,000 feet. It has a fine central mountain.
INGHIRAMI.—A very remarkable ring-plain, 60 miles in diameter, E. of Schickard, with a bright, broad, and nearly continuous border, terraced within, and intersected on the N.E. by narrow valleys, one of which is prolonged over the floor and extends to the central mountain. There are two curious dark spots on the N. side of the interior. Beyond the foot of the glacis on the S. a distinct cleft runs from a dusky spot to a group of small craters E. of Wargentin. There is a fine regular ring-plain with a small central mount W. of Inghirami.
PINGRE.—A ring-plain, about 18 miles in diameter, between Phocylides and the limb.
HAUSEN.—A ring-plain, close to the limb, N. of Bailly, which, but for its position, would be a fine object. It is, however, never sufficiently well placed for observation.
BAILLY.—One of the largest wall-surrounded plains on the moon, almost a "sea" in miniature, extending 150 miles from N. to S., and fully as much from W. to E. When caught at a favourable phase, it is, despite its position, especially worthy of scrutiny. The rampart on the W., of the linear type, is broken by several bright craters. On the S.W. two considerable overlapping ring-plains interfere with its continuity. On the S.E. several very remarkable parallel curved valleys traverse the border. The E. wall, which at one point attains a height of nearly 15,000 feet, is beautifully terraced. The floor on the eastern side includes several ring-plains (some of which are of a very abnormal type), many ridges, and two delicate dark lines, crossing each other near the S. end, probably representing clefts.
LEGENTIL.—A large walled-plain, close to the limb, S. of Bailly.
FOURTH QUADRANT
WEST LONGITUDE 90 deg. TO 60 deg.
KASTNER.—A large walled-plain at the S. end of the Mare Smythii, too near the limb for satisfactory observation.
