Abstract:
   The file contains values of Cousins R-I and theta [= 5040/T(eff)] for
   497 F-K stars which are on or near the main sequence.

Introduction:
   Paper II contains the original version of the catalog, while Paper VI 
   contains a supplement.  It is believed that the combined database in
   the two papers is complete for data published as of the end of 1993.

Notes: 
   a 1Spectroscopic value of theta (Luck and Bond 1982, ApJ, 259, 792; 
       Krishnaswamy and Sneden 1985, PASP, 97, 407).
   b  Spectroscopic value of theta (Luck and Bond 1982, ApJ, 259, 792).
   c  R-I is from B-V and [Fe/H] (see Eqs. 1-6 of Paper II).
   d  R-I is from Joner and Taylor (unpublished).
   e  A value of beta yields a discrepant value of R-I and has not been used.
   f  Binary (see Table 6 of Paper II).
   g  Spectroscopic value of theta (Hartmann and Gehren 1988, A&A, 199, 269).
   h  Values of beta and b-y have not been used for this relatively cool star.
   i  Triple system (see Table 6 of Paper II).
   j  Spectroscopic value of theta (Pagel 1964, Royal Obs. Bull., No. 87)
   k 1Spectroscopic value of theta (Gratton 1983, A&A, 123, 289; value of sigma
       from Pagel 1964, Royal Obs. Bull., No. 87).
   o  The quoted value of sigma is from Glebocki (1972, Acta Astron., 22, 141)
   p 1Spectroscopic value of theta (Peterson 1981, ApJ, 244, 989; value of sigma
    from Pagel 1964, Royal Obs. Bull., No. 87).
   q  E(B-V) is assumed to be 0.03 mag (Carney and Latham 1985, ApJ, 298, 803)
