Abstract:
   Within the framework of a large photometric observing program, designed to 
   investigate the Galaxy's structure and evolution, H{beta} photometry is 
   being made for about 9000 stars. As a by-product, supplementary uvby
   photometry has been made. The results are presented in a catalogue 
   containing 6924 uvby observations of 6190 stars, all south of 
   {delta}=+38deg. The overall internal rms errors of one observation 
   (transformed to the standard system) of a program star in the interval 
   6.5<V<8.5 are 0.0046, 0.0028, 0.0039, and 0.0056, respectively, in V, b-y, 
   m_1_ , and c_1_ . The catalogue has been compared to two earlier catalogues
   published within the same observing program.
