<br />  D. W. G.

We have attempted to eliminate certain illogical and inconvenient situations in the Blagg and Müller scheme, but all major changes are restricted to the extreme limb regions where the Blagg and Müller scheme, and for that matter, all previous maps, are somewhat unrealistic. The scheme is based on a lengthy and thorough survey of the best available photographs and is embodied in the following documents.<br /> <br />  (i) ''[/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters The System of Lunar Craters]'', Communications of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. This work is in four parts with a catalog and map for each of the four lunar quadrants.<br /> <br />  (ii) ''[/Quad%20Maps Lunar and Planetary Designations]'', Arthur and Agnieray, University of Arizona Press.

These are available by subscription.<br /> <br />  The above indicates that the proposed scheme is not subject to the drawback of limited distribution, which somewhat hampered the diffusion and acceptance of the Blagg and Müller nomenclature.<br /> <br />  As already stated, no major changes were made in the central areas of the disk, except the deletion of a few names which were duplicated elsewhere. In these areas we merely intensified the existing scheme by adding additional letters. The situation near the limb is basically different in that recent intensive cartographic work, coupled with a changeover to conformal projection, makes the Blagg and Müller scheme quite inadequate for contemporary lunar cartography. To eliminate some serious and widespread difficulties, some 6o new names were added in the extreme limb regions. Almost all of these fall in areas which are very poorly represented in all the older maps.<br /> <br />  The demands of tradition and continuity were given full weight throughout, even though these often prevented the development of a completely logical scheme of lunar nomenclature.<br /> <br />

AN EXTENDED FORM OF BLAGG AND MÜLLER'S SCHEMA OF LUNAR NOMENCLATURE


D. W. G. Arthur

The lunar nomenclature proposed by the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory of thc University of Arizona is a revised and extended form of that of Blagg and Müller, which was authorized by the Union in 1932. We have attempted to eliminate certain illogical and inconvenient situations in the Blagg and Müller scheme, but all major changes are restricted to the extreme limb regions where the Blagg and Müller scheme, and for that matter, all previous maps, are somewhat unrealistic. The scheme is based on a lengthy and thorough survey of the best available photographs and is embodied in the following documents.

(i) The System of Lunar Craters, Communications of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. This work is in four parts with a catalog and map for each of the four lunar quadrants.

(ii) Lunar and Planetary Designations, Arthur and Agnieray, University of Arizona Press. A two-color map in four parts.

(iii) The Rectified Lunar Atlas, Whitaker et al. University of Arizona Press. This gives the names but not the letters.

(iv) The L.A.C. lunar topographic maps at 1: 1 000 000 of the Aeronautical Chart and Information Center of the U.S. Air Force. These are available by subscription.

The above indicates that the proposed scheme is not subject to the drawback of limited distribution, which somewhat hampered the diffusion and acceptance of the Blagg and Müller nomenclature.

As already stated, no major changes were made in the central areas of the disk, except the deletion of a few names which were duplicated elsewhere. In these areas we merely intensified the existing scheme by adding additional letters. The situation near the limb is basically different in that recent intensive cartographic work, coupled with a changeover to conformal projection, makes the Blagg and Müller scheme quite inadequate for contemporary lunar cartography. To eliminate some serious and widespread difficulties, some 6o new names were added in the extreme limb regions. Almost all of these fall in areas which are very poorly represented in all the older maps.

The demands of tradition and continuity were given full weight throughout, even though these often prevented the development of a completely logical scheme of lunar nomenclature.

Une discussion genérale à lieu a laquelie participent notamment MM. Arthur, Dollfus, le Père Hoyden, Hopman, Kopal, Martynov, Menzel, Rackham, Rösch, Shoemaker, Tombaugh, Wildt.

Ii est recornmandé d'éviter de faire précéder les noms propres par les initailes de prénoms lorsque cellos-ci ne sont pas nécessaires.

Le rapport précédent est adopté.

L'impact de la sonde spatiale Range VII dans la région sombre lunaire elliptique comprise entre les cratères Guéricke, Bompland, Darney et Montes Riphaeus a attiré l'attention sur le fait quo cette mer n'était pas clairement dénommée.
Le Professeur Kuiper propose deux noms possibles: Mare Exploratum ou Mare Cognitum.

Apres one attentive discussion, la désignation Mare Cognitum est retenue.

Le comité `Nomenclature et Cartographic de la Surface Lunaire' est maintenu avec sa composition initiale complétée par le Dr Arthur.
