(IAU Directions) ROST.--An oblong-shaped ring-plain, 30 miles in diameter, on the S.E. of Schiller, with moderately high walls, and, according to Neison, a shallow depression within, nearly central. I have seen a crater shown by Schmidt on the W. side of the floor. A valley runs from the W. side of Rost to the S. of Schiller.
