Abstract:
    Identifications, positions, photometry, spectra, some pulsational
    features, other astrophysical parameters and literature for 302
    pulsating variable stars in the lower instability strip, near the
    ZAMS, are given. About 185 stars have near homogeneous photometric
    information in the Stroemgren's uvby-{beta} photometric system. This
    catalogue/database covers information published until November 1993.

Note (1): The spectral type is in the MK system, when available. A "-" sign
           between two spectral types means that they are the limits of spectral
           type variation. A "+" sign between two spectral types means that the
           spectrum is complex, and two or more components were identified.
