A representative sample of lunar rilles observed on Lunar Orbiter 4 and 5 photographs is presented. A method of classification of rilles is described which will provide a means of quantitatively grouping rilles of similar planemetric shape. The method is based on a finite Fourier approximation of the edge of the rille. It provides an adequate approximation to all planemetric characteristics of the rille except rille recurvature.
