主な模様は全て見えています。タウマシア(Thaumasia;80W,-35)
が明るく記録されています。この場所は３月２５日にヘルナンデス
(Hernandez)のスケッチでは火星の西の端に近くなっています。中央
で見える時にタウマシアの観測が欲しいところです。南極はヘイズ
に覆われているとういうことで、大きく明るく見えています。アキ
ダリウム(Mare Achidarium;30W,+40)を東西に横切る雲が描かれてい

  All main patterns can be seen. The Thaumasia(80W,-35) is brightly
recorded. This place became back on March 25. because it is
approaching an end in the west in the　drawing of Mr.Hernandez,
it is impoetant by how it is possible to be seen at the　CM.
The SPR seemed covered by haze and was brightly recorded mainly.
The cloud which crosses in east and west in Mare Acidarium(30W,+40)
is recorded. This may be the light band of the Achillis(30W,+38).
