    system is presented for 773 stars of spectral types O8 to F6.               
    706 stars have been measured at least twice.

  Regarding the catalog Pass Bands Morguleff and Gerbaldi (1975) note 
  the following:
         
     These spectral intervals permit the determination of certain
     physical characteristics .... The pass bands 1 and 5 lead us
     to calculate red and blue gradients. The equivalent widths
     of the H(beta), H(gamma) lines of hydrogen and the K lines of 
     Ca II are derived from band 3, 4, and 6. Bands 7 and 8 measure
     the Balmer jump. 
         
  Listed in the catalog file are the normalized magnitudes corresponding
  to the above pass bands. The normalized magnitude of a pass band,
  C(j), is defined as the color index of the magnitude in the band minus
  the magnitude of the second band, C(2). 
         
  See Morguleff and Gerbaldi (1975) for a brief discussion of
  conservation of the system and mean errors across all stars.

Note (1): the mean error is only computed if Obs>1                              

Note on Name: 
  HD or BD number of the object. Only the last two objects have 
  BD rather than HD numbers. 
         
Note on c1, c3, c4, c5, c6, c7, c8:
  The normalized magnitudes in seven of the eight pass bands (see "Pass
  Bands"). C(2) is always equal to zero, by definition. 
         
Note on Obs: 
  Number of measurements contributing to the above values.
