LO-IV-142H Lee is in the center. A piece of the south rim of Doppelmayer is visible at the top. The shallow 8-km just outside Lee’s southwest rim is Lee A and a little irregular 4-km pit in the upper left, near the margin at about 10 o’clock from the center of Lee is Lee T. The entire upper right quadrant of this frame is regarded as part of Lee M, a 47-km ruined enclosure of the southwest floor of Mare Humorum between Doppelmayer and Vitello.

(IAU Directions) LEE.--An incomplete walled-plain, about 28 miles in diameter, on the S. side of the Mare Humorum, W. of Vitello, from which it is separated by another partial enclosure, with a striking valley, not shown in the published maps, running round its E. side. If viewed when its W. wall is on the morning terminator, some isolated relics of the wrecked N.E. wall of Lee are prominent, in the shape of a number of attenuated bright elevations separated by gaps. Within are three or four conspicuous hills.

If... a certain crater on the moon would be known as See (Thomas Jefferson Jackson See) it could join Lee and Mee. - DannyCaes May 14, 2015
Van Langren's Quaresini
The hill Lee Eta seems to have been called Quaresini by Van Langren (see page 196 in E.A.Whitaker's Mapping and Naming the Moon). If this name was officially recognized by the I.A.U., it could have joined the name Quetelet in the ultra-short Q list (two official names!) (a lot).- DannyCaes Jan 23, 2016
