The dot is the center position and the red circle the main ring position from Chuck Wood's Impact Basin Database. The white circles indicate the positions of the remaining rings according to the Pike & Spudis data.

Additional Information
- A major swirl of 10,000 km^2 stretches across Van de Graaff and Mare Ingenii (Hughes and others, 2006).
- Mare area of 36,000 km^2 according to measurements by Jim Whitford-Stark.
- Crater counts yield mare ages of 3.20 and 3.51 b.y. Haruyama, J. and others, 2008.
Nomenclature
- The IAU feature name is Latin for "Sea of Cleverness".
- Discovered in Lunik 3 imaging of farside and named in Atlas of the Other Side of the Moon. Approved by the IAU in 1961 (Whitaker, p 232).
- The impact basin is named after the mare.
- Once called "Object A" (see: V.A.Firsoff's The Old Moon and the New; Page 166 and Plate 13b) - DannyCaes DannyCaes Jun 1, 2008
- A distinct rille at the most northern part of Mare Ingenii (south-southeast of Paracelsus M) was unofficially called Vallis Alpha Reed during the hey-days of project Apollo (see: Apollo 15 Flight Journal by David Woods and Frank O'Brien, at 81:15:41 GET in the mission). - DannyCaes DannyCaes Jun 1, 2008
