- The 32th item in C. A. Wood's list of Concentric Craters (1978) is the one south-southeast of J. Herschel F. It is noticeable on the Hi-Res scan of Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-152-h1. In this part of Mare Frigoris, near J. Herschel F (between La Condamine and J. Herschel), a curious field of twisted arc-shapes is noticeable.

Nomenclature
- Named for Sir John Frederick William Herschel (1792-1871), a British astronomer.
- The name Herschel II (to distinguish it from the existing name Herschel) was introduced by Birt in 1863.
- It became J.F.W. Herschel when published in the list of new British Association names in Webb (1873).
- This feature is Catalog number 1686 in Mary Blagg's Collated List, where it is noted as being misspelled F. Herschel on Map 6 of Neison, 1876, and not named by the other authorities.
- It was introduced into the IAU nomenclature as J. Herschel in Named Lunar Formations with the name attributed to Birt.
- Not to be confused with Herschel and C. Herschel.
