Description
Description: Elger
([/IAU%20Directions IAU Directions]) REGIOMONTANUS.--A still more irregular walled-plain, of about the same area, closely associated with the S. flank of [/Purbach Purbach], having a rampart of a similar complex type, traversed by passes, longitudinal valleys, and other depressions. Schmidt alone shows the especially fine example of a crater-row, which is not a difficult object, in connection with the S.W. wall. Excepting one crater, nearly central, and some inconspicuous ridges, I have seen no detail on the floor. Schmidt, however, records many features.
