The Hurwitz catalog (N°1 to N°195) (and... additional sinuous rilles N°196 to N°218, and perhaps also N°219)
1 South of Herigonius H and the "U" shaped or fork-shaped hill (that is: the location of the "first" red colored circle on Debra M. Hurwitz's view of the moon's near side).

21 About halfway between Reiner K and Reiner L (north-northeast of Reiner)
22 The northern end of Rima Suess
23 Rima Suess (mentioned as "Seuss") (Suess as "Seuss" is a frequently seen error, see other moonbooks and atlases) (the Times Atlas of the Moon doesn't seem to know Rima Suess, there's nothing of it on Chart 37)
24 The northern end of Rima Suess (the very shallow and very meandering "zig-zaggy" part west of Marius U)
25 Near a flat hill north of Reiner Gamma
26 Rima Milichius
27 South of Rima Galilaei
28 East of the southern end of Rima Galilaei
29 Rima Galilaei (two entries)

54 West of the western end of Vallis Schroteri

89 North of Louville DA
90 Halfway between Markov G and Harpalus T

107 North of Wallace
108 South-southwest of Euler E

APPENDIX: additional sinuous rilles, discovered by D.Caes during the exploration of the online Big Shadows map of the entire moon's surface (LROC)
- 196 - Rima Mees Y (the sinuous rille slightly north of Mees Y). http://bit.ly/2fpOyMh
- 197 - The system of very shallow zig-zaggy rilles and oblong depressions immediately east of Fontenelle (south-southeast of Fontenelle P). http://bit.ly/2C9qdXT
Number 197 seen in a vertical view toward the nadir: http://bit.ly/2BHYfis
(note the strange "S" shapes!)
- 198 - Rima Burnet, immediately west of Dorsa Burnet. http://bit.ly/2BOVBYy
- 199 - At the north-northwestern part of the floor of Hedin. http://bit.ly/2BUO4Hs
- 200 - The very shallow sinuous rille east of Krafft. http://bit.ly/2ChZl8u
- 201 - The "intestine"-shaped and extremely zig-zaggy looking sinuous rille at the east-southeastern part of the floor of Ulugh Beigh A. http://bit.ly/2CqdfFC
- 202 - Rima Lehmann-Schickard (the sinuous rille between Lehmann and Schickard). http://bit.ly/2CpRCoA
- 203 - The very narrow sinuous rille northwest of Promontorium Heraclides (at the southern part of the floor of Sinus Iridum). http://bit.ly/2CUz4x0
- 204 - Northeast of Marius B and Marius C. http://bit.ly/2CRHuFt
- 205 - West-southwest of Lansberg F (and also east-northeast of it). http://bit.ly/2CT5BUg
- 206 - Just north of Promontorium Heraclides (a very pronounced part and a very shallow and almost invisible part). http://bit.ly/2m7ATMQ
- 207 - Northeast of Gambart. http://bit.ly/2me7JeO
- 208 - West of Euclides (very shallow and almost undetectable!). http://bit.ly/2mbR3EQ
- 209 - East-northeast of Euclides F (very thin!). http://bit.ly/2maOnY6
- 210 - The very shallow sinuous rille east-southeast of Fra Mauro A. http://bit.ly/2mkO1yl
- 211 - Near the pronounced hill west of Alika Herring's Valentine Dome. http://bit.ly/2D2Wy3b
Number 211 is a very narrow sinuous rille. It's interesting to try to detect its most eastern and most western extensions, and where this rille exactly "starts" and "ends".
The eastern "start" seems to be located south of the Valentine dome, near the craterlet once known as Linné AE, see: http://bit.ly/2F01LWR
The western "end" seems to be located west of the most southern part of Montes Caucasus (once known as Cap Faraday), see: http://bit.ly/2EVwAfp
- 212 - Rima Calippus? (mentioned by Drew Enns of the LROC team as a system of sinuous rilles).
- 213 - Small system of possible sinuous rilles near the northern part of the rim of Mare Serenitatis. http://bit.ly/2EXp8jY
- 214 - South of Donner R. http://bit.ly/2EY9dSf
- 215 - North of Poincaré Z. http://bit.ly/2EXDe4O
- 216 - South of Aristillus A. http://bit.ly/2F5l02v
- 217 - West-northwest of Egede G. http://bit.ly/2F4bFIh
- 218 - Between Chretien A and Chretien W. http://bit.ly/2oFhjJg
- 219 ? - Perhaps... a very small sinuous rille at the western part of the floor of Sinus Iridum, near Montes Jura. http://bit.ly/2m7YuNu
A meandering lunar sinuous rille, a Coronal suture, a Lambdoid suture, and a Sagittal suture
On the moon there's the sort of meandering sinuous rille which looks very much like the meandering sutures in (or on) a human skull.
The function of a meandering lunar sinuous rille is totally different from that of the Coronal suture, the Lambdoid suture, and the Sagittal suture, but... the similarities in their appearances are striking!
