Abstract:
    A catalog  of the  O-B stars,  selected  from  "Blaauw-Parenago"  list
    (1955,  First IAU Symposium, "Co-ordination of galactic research") and
    Rubin's  catalog (1962AJ.....67..491R, Cat. <V/31>), has been compiled
    on the FK4  system  by  the  observations  made  with  Gautier  8-inch
    Meridian Circle at  the  Tokyo  Astronomical  Observatory  during  the
    period,  1971 to 1979. It contains 1059 stars and was compiled for the
    future establishment of high precision proper motions of O-B stars.
