This picture of the eastern part of Mare Cognitum, while of interest
in many respects, is used here largely to locate the dark hills (V) illustrated
in detail in Figure
92 . Although small, the complex of dark hills is easily discernible
because it is lower in albedo and is rougher than the surrounding mare
lavas. Also included in this view are two bright hills (~ that were described
earlier ( Figure
69 ) as probably being of volcanic origin and an apparently faulted
crater (C) that will be described later ( Figure
246 ). Note the proximity of all three features to mare ridges.
The dark hills lie within a westward bulge of one mare ridge, the two bright
hills interrupt another ridge, and the crater is intersected by a third
ridge. The association probably is not accidental. -M.C.M.
