Description:
   CCD observations in U, B, V, R and I passbands have been used to generate
   (U-B), (B-V) colour-colour and deep V, (B-V); V, (U-B) and V, (V-I)
   colour-magnitude diagrams for the young open cluster NGC 4755. The sample
   consists of 813 stars reaching down to V about 20mag.

Note (1): The center of Region 1 is located ~3.2 arcmin south-west while
    that of Region 2 ~3.5 arcmin north-east to the cluster center marked
    by Dachs & Kaiser (1984).
Note (2): Stars observed by Arp & van Sant (1958) and Dachs & Kaiser (1984)
    in the photoelectric and photographic system have been prefixed with AV
    and DK respectively. The candidates for pre-main sequence stars are
    identified as PMS in the last column.
