(IAU Directions) GAURICUS.--A large walled-plain S. of Pitatus, about 40 miles in diameter. The border is very irregular, and, according to Neison, consists on the W. of a precipitous cliff more than 9,000 feet high. It is surrounded by a number of large rings on the S., and has several considerable small depressions on its N. border. There is apparently no prominent detail on the floor. Schmidt shows some ridges and craterlets.

- This name has continued unchanged since its original usage for this feature on Riccioli's map (Whitaker, p. 212).
- Crater Gauricus A seems to have been called Granollachs by... (?). Here we have a strange mystery in lunar nomenclature. The name "Granollachs" is included on a Spanish website dedicated to Wilkins's and Paluzie-Borrell's Spanish names, but it was not included in the book THE MOON by Wilkins and Moore.
