Description:
   The catalog is a survey of more than 1800 supergiants in the Large
   Magellanic Cloud.  A spectral survey was made during the period 1971 to
   1975 with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) 40-cm astrograph at La
   Silla, Chile.  It is equipped with its normal prism, giving an intermediate
   dispersion of 95 angstroms/mm at wavelength 4026 angstroms.  Long-exposure
   plates taken directly or with an interference filter enabled spectral
   classification for nearly 1600 stars.  In parallel, a V photographic survey
   spectral classification was carried out during the same period with the
   same astrograph and led to the determination of V magnitudes for more than
   700 stars having no previous photometric data.  The catalog includes star
   designations, numbers on the B chart of the Hodge and Wright atlas (1967),
   right ascension and declination (B1975.0), MK spectral classifications, V
   photoelectric magnitudes, color indices (B-V, U-B), V photographic
   magnitudes, and remarks on star identifications.
