                      will vary with the latitude location of a parcel in order to compensate for the                                   
                      decreasing linear separation of the lines of longitude as they converge towards the                               
                      lunar poles;

                      longitudinal dimension, in terms of degrees and/or minutes of angle, results in an                                
                      integer number of parcels having a linear width of the order of 4 to 6 miles;
