LO-IV-108H The IAU-approved names Susan, Osman, Priscilla, Alan, Delia and Harold designate components of Catena Davy that happen to be labeled on Topophotomap 77D1/S1. The extensions of the chain to the southwest and northeast were not plotted in such detail, and hence do not have IAU approved craterlet names.
