Additional Information

• According to Pigatto and Zanini (1999), [/Gruithuisen Gruithuisen]'s original map was published three times:
  • In his Selenognotische Fragmente, 1821
    • Reproduced as Figure 5 in Pigatto and Zanini
  • In Gedenkschriften der Bonner Akademie der Naturforscher, 1822
  • In Astronomisches Jahrbuch für das Jahr 1825, Berlin, Gedruckt, bey C.F.E. Späthen, 1822.
    • The map is described on pp. 200-202
    • The available scans include only a fragment of the actual map as it appeared in the yearbook.
• The last named publication appears to be source of the map by [/Gruithuisen Gruithuisen] "published in 1825" shown on page 112, and with a nomenclature overlay on page 113, of [/Whitaker Whitaker] who says it is an interpretation of the map by [/Tobias%20Mayer Tobias Mayer].
• The present map appears have been redrawn from Gruithuisen's original at some later date, with the nomenclature possibly copied (with some spelling errors) from, [/Johann%20Schr%C3%B6ter Johann Schröter]'s version of Mayer's map, except that at #55 the name Schröter ("after Gruithuisen" -- a reference to his "city") is inserted and the remaining numbers are increased by one.
