Abstract:
    Four-colour and H{beta} photometry is introduced for 594 stars earlier than
    G0 in the Kapteyn's Selected Area 194. The results give V, b-y, m_1_, c_1_,
    and {beta} on the standard systems, with overall rms errors for one
    observation of one star of 0.009mag, 0.004mag, 0.006mag, 0.009mag, and
    0.009mag, respectively. The data cover an area of about 5deg x 5deg and is
    intended for an investigation of the distribution of the interstellar
    medium toward the northern part of the Southern Coalsack and its
    surroundings. A comparison to earlier results obtained by other authors has
    shown that the c_1_ indices obtained for the late type stars were
    underestimated, in average, by 0.020mag. Since such difference may account
    for an error of little more than 10% in the estimated stellar distances, a
    correction was applied to the c_1_ index of these stars.
