Description:
   The astrograph took more than 5,158 plates of the sky patrol at
   Algiers Observatory from 1892 to 1975. We arranged them in
   chronological order, stored in air-conditioned room, and compiled
   them as a machine-readable data-base. This catalogue will provide
   researchers with the convenience of archival survey of the past
   astronomical events.
