Description:
   The Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies lists for each entry the
   following information: NGC number, IC number, or A number; A, B, or C
   designation; B1950.0 positions, position at 100 year precession;
   galactic and supergalactic positions; revised morphological type and
   source; type and color class in Yerkes list 1 and 2; Hubble-Sandage
   type; revised Hubble type according to Holmberg; logarithm of mean
   major diameter (log D) and ratio of major to minor diameter (log R)
   and their weights; logarithm of major diameter; sources of the
   diameters; David Dunlap Observatory type and luminosity class; Harvard
   photographic apparent magnitude; weight of V, B-V(0), U-B(0);
   integrated magnitude B(0) and its weight in the B system; mean surface
   brightness in magnitude per square minute of arc and sources for the B
   magnitude; mean B surface brightness derived from corrected Harvard
   magnitude; the integrated color index in the standard B-V system;
   "intrinsic" color index; sources of B-V and/or U-B; integrated color in
   the standard U-B system; observed radial velocity in km/sec; radial
   velocity corrected for solar motion in km/sec; sources of radial
   velocities; solar motion correction; and direct photographic source.
   The catalog was created by concatenating four files side by side.
