Its border, on the W. and N. especially, is much broken, and never rises much more than 2000 feet above the Mare, except at one place on the N., where there is a mountain about 1000 feet higher. The E. wall is tolerably continuous, but is of a very abnormal shape. There is much detail within Guerike.
On the broken N. flank of Guerike is a number of incomplete little rings, all open to the N.; and E. of these commences a linear group of lofty isolated mountain masses extending towards the W. side of Parry, and prolonged for 30 miles or more towards the north. They are arranged in parallel rows, and remind one of a Druidical avenue of gigantic monoliths viewed from above.
A cleft, originating at a mountain arm connected with the E. side of Guerike, runs to the S. flank of this object, and is probably connected with that which skirts the floor of Parry on the E. BONPLAND. A ruined walled-plain with a low and much broken wall, which on the S.W. appears to be an attenuated prolongation of that of Parry.
There is a deep crater with a bright rim on its S.W. wall, and E. of this a notable gap. There is also a wide opening on the N. The E. wall is of the linear type. A cleft crosses the interior. GUERIKE. The most southerly member of a remarkable group of partially destroyed walled-plains, standing in an isolated position in the Mare Nubium.
PARRY. A more complete formation than Guerike. It is about 25 miles in diameter, and is encompassed by a bright border, which, at a point on the E., is nearly 5000 feet in height. It is intersected on the N. by passes communicating with the interior of Fra Mauro.
