Nomenclature
William Tyler Olcott (January 11, 1873 – July 6, 1936) was an American lawyer and amateur astronomer. In 1909, after attending a lecture by Edward Pickering, he developed an interest in observing variable stars. In 1911, he and professor Pickering founded the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO). Olcott also published several books to popularize the field of amateur astronomy.
Catena Olcott is an unofficial name from D.Caes for the chain of depressions east-southeast of Olcott E, north-northwest of Kostinskiy D.

W.T.Olcott is frequently mentioned in Burnham's Celestial Handbook. If all goes well, a list of pages (of Burnham's) in which W.T.Olcott is mentioned will appear here. Burnham himself never created an alphabetic index of the hundreds of names scattered throughout the three volumes of his handbook... - DannyCaes May 8, 2015
