Timings of 66000 occultations of stars by the Moon are analysed for systematic corrections to the limb-profile heights taken from Watts' charts of the marginal zone of the Moon. The radius, shape and location of the centre of the datum implicit in the charts are found to vary with libration and these variations produce systematic errors in the limb-profile heights which attain 0.4 arcsec in some position angles.
