Description:
   This catalog contains the results of the differential observations of
   3939 stars made with the Transit Circle of the Bucharest Observatory,
   from 1955 July 1 to 1962 June 16. The positions were observed
   simultaneously with the Catalog of the Southern Reference Star
   program. 105 stars were selected to be near extragalactic nebulae; the
   remaining 3852 stars were from the KSZ list. The positions are on the
   FK3R system for the equinox, 1950.0. Mean errors are 0.029s and 0.49"
   in right ascension and declination, respectively. The catalog contains
   for each star, in addition to the positions: the BD number, magnitude,
   spectral type, individual mean errors, epoch of the observations,
   number of observations in each coordinate, number of the star in the
   list of areas near extragalactic nebulae, and notes.
