Comparison of multi-ringed, mare-filled basins on the nearside of the moon indicates that a simple one-to-one correspondence of all rings between lunar basins does not exist. The only rings which can be correlated reasonably well between such basins are concentric systems of mare ridges and basin rims, and the frequently cited square-root-of-2 spacing relationship does not correctly describe their spacing. It is concluded that the Cordillera is the rim of the Orientale Basin and is equivalent to the 1340 km diameter ring of the Imbrium Basin and the rims of the other mare-filled basins. The area between the Rook and Cordillera rings is believed equivalent to the marginal shelf areas of the more completely mare-filled basins. A circular arc approximately 520 km diameter located just inside the outer Rook Ring would have been the most likely site for formation of a concentric system of mare ridges, had filling of the Orientale Basin been complete.
