Description:
    In the previous papers of this series (Longo et al. =1991A&AS...90..375L;
    Rifatto et al. =1995A&AS..109..341R) we collected and reduced to the
    same system all the available photometric data obtained in the
    ultraviolet (UV) range for normal (i.e. non active) galaxies. Here we
    use these data to derive standard UV luminosity profiles for three
    morphological bins (E/S0; Sa/Sb; Sc/Sd) and extrapolated total
    magnitudes for almost 400 galaxies. We find that: 1) the UV growth
    curves are well matched by the B-band revised standard luminosity
    profiles, once a proper shift in the effective radius is applied, and
    2) the UV light in early-type galaxies is more centrally concentrated
    than the visible light.
