Description:
    The catalog includes for each star as described in the title, the CDS
    number, HR number, V magnitude, (b-y) color index, m1, c1, beta, mean
    errors, sum of remarks. The rms errors of one observation are 0.013
    mag, 0.005 mag, 0.006 mag and 0.008 mag for V, (b-y), m1 and c1,
    respectively.

Note on ID:
  HR number (from Yale Catalogue of Bright Stars, see catalog <V/50>)
        and components letters for multiple system
  For a few stars HD or CD numbers are given

Note on Vmag:
  The value given is a weighted mean of the single observation. Most
        nights have been given weight 1, one night, weight 0.2, and
        the rest, weight 0.5

Note on P1, P2:
  For fainter stars, the individual observations have been scrutinized and
        rather low weights have been assigned according to the number of
        photons counted, etc. For a few stars the weight is zero but the
        photometry has nevertheless been given, because at least it tells if
        the star is of early or late type.

Note on beta:
  (Crawford-Mander system): a weighted mean
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

History:
  uvby photometry data were in catalog II/30 .
