Description:
   In a field of 1deg radius centered in the Coma cluster of galaxies, UV
   ({lambda}=2000 A) observations with a 40-cm balloon-borne imaging telescope
   (FOCA) have provided a list of 442 UV sources brighter than m_UV_=18, which
   are identified in the Godwin (1983) catalogue. 254 are identified as
   galaxies, 178 as star-like objects and 10 as galaxy-star pairs, unresolved
   in the UV image.
