Description:
  The catalog is an objective-prism survey for stars of spectral
  classes F2 to G5 in a region of high galactic latitude.  The catalog
  contains 1127 stars and is complete to a limiting photographic
  magnitude of 12.5.  The photographic plates used permit a separation
  of the stars into narrow and well-defined spectral classes.  The
  spectral classification of the stars in the catalog is based on the
  Yerkes MK system.  The catalog is subdivided into one-degree
  declination zones as are the DM catalogs.  The degree zones are
  based on 1855 coordinates.  The catalog includes sequence numbers of
  the stars, BD and HD numbers, positions (B1950), B magnitudes,
  spectral types, and remarks.

Note on B:
  There is a <Null> value in column 'B' on line 1054 of which UI number
  is 41 101. This star is observed on two deep plates, 4765 and 5471, taken
  over one year apart, to be of spectral classes F2 and A5, respectively, and
  magnitudes 12.6 and 12.1, respectively, and is not included in the list by
  Slettebak and Stock (1959). The A5 spectral image appears similar to one of 
  RR Lyrae of the same dispersion (Nassau and Stephenson 1960). It is likely 
  that this star is a previously undiscovered RR Lyrae type variable.

Remarks:
