CHART OF THE MOON'S SURFACE. AFTER NASMYTH.
The figures refer to the names given on pp. 11 and 12 and the use of the chart with the model will enable the reader to name the different features of the moon.

Transcriber NoteThe list of "topographic features" (pp. 11-12) have some numbers missing (115, 116) and a comparison with Nasmyth and Carpenter's The Moon was missing those numbers but several other numbers were repeated. The repeated numbers appear to represent craters too close to split out.
