Abstract: We prove an early announcement by Knaster on a decomposition of the plane. Then we establish an announcement by Anderson saying that the plane annulus admits a continuous decomposition into pseudo-arcs such that the quotient space is a simple closed curve. This provides a new plane curve, ``a selectible circle of pseudo-arcs", and answers some questions of Lewis.
