The dark interior includes a small central mountain. Its companion on the S.W., Magelhaens a, slightly overlaps it. This also has a central hill, and a crater on the outer slope of its E. wall. SANTBECH. A very prominent ring-plain, 46 miles in diameter, on the S.E. side of the Mare Foecunditatis, W. of Fracastorius.

A wide deep valley flanked by lofty mountains extends from the N. wall for many miles towards the N.W. It is an especially noteworthy object when the W. wall of Santbech is on the evening terminator, as its somewhat winding course, indicated by the bright summit-ridges of the bordering mountains, can be followed some hours before either the interior of the valley or the region between it and Santbech are in sunlight.

A long coarse valley runs from this latter object in a N.E. direction to the region W. of Bohnenberger. Santbech contains a prominent central peak. BIOT. A brilliant little ring-plain, scarcely more than 7 miles in diameter, standing in an isolated position in the Mare Foecunditatis N.E. of Wrottesley.

There is a number of bright streaks in its neighbourhood; and a few miles E. of it, in the hilly region W. of Santbech, another conspicuous crater of about the same size. BORDA. A ring-plain about 25 miles in diameter, S.S.W. of Santbech, with a rampart low on the N. and S., but elsewhere of considerable height, and a very conspicuous central mountain.
