(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.

Nomenclature
Robert Le Mesurier; British explorer (1807-1873).
- According to Whitaker (p. 221), this name was introduced by Birt and Lee. Although Whitaker lists it as "McClure", the original spelling seems to have been "MacClure". - Jim Mosher
