(IAU Directions) MACCLURE.--One of a curious group of formations situated in the Mare Fecunditatis some distance S.E. of Goclenius. It is a bright ring-plain, about 15 miles in diameter, with a narrow gap in the N.W. wall and a small central hill. A prominent ridge runs up to the N. border; and on the S.E. a rill-valley may be traced, extending S. to a bright deep little crater E. of Cook.
