The location of the Concentric Crater near Legendre (which was included as item N°10 in C.A.Wood's list of 1978), should be immediately south of Palitzsch B (east of Palitzsch itself and northwest of Legendre). I have tried to detect this Concentric Crater on the Hi-Res scan of Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-184-h2, alas... Perhaps there are much more detailed orbital photographs to discover (or to re-discover) the exact location of C.A.Wood's Concentric Crater "N°10".

(IAU Directions) PALITZSCH.--If this extraordinary formation is observed when the moon is about three days old, it resembles a great trough, or deep elongated gorge flanking the E. wall of Petavius, though it is a true ring-plain, albeit of a very abnormal type, about 60 miles in length and 20 miles in breadth, with a somewhat dusky interior. On the outer slope of its E. wall is a bright ring-plain with a lofty border and a central mountain.
