Description:
   This catalog provides additional data for FK4 and FK5 stars. Specifically, it
   contains the GC numbers and the HD numbers where available.  It also
   contains the parallaxes from the Yale Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes,
   various information from Wilson's General Catalogue of Stellar Radial 
   Velocities, and positions and proper motions in galactic coordinates.

Introduction:
  The data have been taken in the following catalogues:
        FK4     Fourth Fundamental Catalogue carried out under the supervision 
                of W. Fricke and A. Kopff, Heidelberg (1963)

                Boss B., Carnegie Institution of Washington (1937)
        YP      Yale Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes
