Robert A. Garfinkle, “Discovery of the Real Man Behind the Name of the Lunar Crater Kinau.” JBAA 117 (2) (April 2007): 81–84.
- 2.
A check by the library staff at the Royal Astronomical Society in London discovered that the reference card(s) for Kinau is missing from the box of reference materials used by the editor of the BAA’s 1938 book.
- 3.
Private communication from Ewen Whitaker to the author, dated October 22, 2011. Before he moved to the United States, Whitaker lived only a few miles from Wilkins in the early 1950s and used to ride his bicycle over to visit Wilkins and observe the Moon together. Wilkins gave Whitaker an original set of the 300-inch map.

In the Lunar Atlas in this book, I have updated Neison’s nearside charts (and added Antonín Rükl’s libration zones) with the feature names that have been officially added to the lunar nomenclature since 1880.
