EULER.—­The most easterly of the row of great ring-plains, which, beginning on the W. with Autolycus, and followed by Archimedes, Timocharis, and Lambert, extends almost in a great circle from the N.W. to the S.E. side of the Mare Imbrium.  It is about 19 miles in diameter, and is surrounded by terraced walls, which, though of no great height above the Mare, rise 6000 feet above the floor.  There is a distinct little gap in the S. wall, easily glimpsed when it is close to the morning terminator, which probably represents a small crater.  Euler has a bright central mountain, and is a centre of white silvery streaks.

BRAYLEY.—­A very conspicuous little ring-plain E.S.E. of Euler, with two smaller but equally brilliant objects of the same class situated respectively E. and W. of it.

DIOPHANTUS.—­Forms with Delisle, its companion on the N., a noteworthy object.  It is about 13 miles in diameter, with a wall, which has a distinct break in its continuity on the N., rising about 2500 feet above the Mare.  A rill-valley runs from the E. side of the ring towards the W. face of a triangular-shaped mountain on the E. of a line joining the formation with Delisle.  North are three bright little craters in a line, the middle one being much the largest.  From the most easterly of these objects a light streak may be traced under a high sun, extending for many miles to another small crater on the N.W. of Diophantus, and expanding at a point due N. of the formation into a spindle-shaped marking.  At sunrise, the W. portion of the streak has all the appearance of a cleft, with a branch about midway running to the S. side of Delisle.  Under the same phase a broad band of shadow extends from the N.E. wall to the triangular mountain just mentioned, representing a very sudden drop in the surface—­resembling on a small scale the well-known “railroad” E. of Thebit.  Diophantus has no central mountain.

DELISLE.—­A larger and more irregularly-shaped object than the last, 16 miles in diameter, with loftier and more massive walls, and an extensive but ill-defined central hill.  There is an evident break in the northern border.  A triangular mountain on the S.E. and a winding ridge running up to the N. wall are prominent features at sunrise, as are also the brilliant summits of a group of hills some distance to the E.N.E.

CARLINI.—­A small but prominent and deep little crater about 5 miles in diameter on the Mare Imbrium about midway between Lambert and the Sinus Iridum.  There are many faint light streaks in the vicinity, one of which extends from Carlini to Bianchini, on the edge of the Sinus,—­a distance of 300 miles.  Schmidt shows a central peak.

CAROLINE HERSCHEL.—­A bright and very deep ring-plain about 8 miles in diameter on the Mare Imbrium, some distance E.N.E. of the last.  On the S.E. lies a larger crater, Delisle B, which has a small but obvious crater on its N. rim, and casts a very prominent shadow at sunrise.  Caroline Herschel stands on a long curved ridge running N.E. from Lambert towards the region E. of Helicon, and, according to Schmidt, has a central peak.  On the E. is a bright mountain with two peaks; some distance N. of which is a large ill-defined white spot, with another spot of a similar kind on the W. of it, nearly due N. of Caroline Herschel.
