(IAU Directions) CAPUANUS.--A large ring-plain, about 34 miles in diameter, W. of Cichus, with a border especially remarkable on the W., where it rises more than 8,000 feet above the outside country, and includes a large brilliant shallow crater. It is broken on the N.E. by a small but noteworthy double crater; and on the S. its continuity is destroyed for many miles by a number of big circular and sub-circular depressions and prominent deep valleys, far too numerous and complicated to describe. The level dusky interior contains only a low mound on the S., but is crossed by some light streaks running from N. to S.
