The need for precise definition of lunar reference systems is stressed and the principles on which systems of lunar coordinates could be based are established. Differences between coordinate systems defined by the dynamical properties of the lunar configuration and the rotational motion of the lunar globe about its centre of gravity are outlined, and rigorous mathematical formulae relating those systems have been developed. The principles of reduction of measurements are outlined and in the Appendix the absolute coordinates obtained for 700 lunar features are presented.
