Description:
    A catalogue of massive young stellar objects which contains about 250
    objects is presented. This catalogue is an updated version of the
    catalogue of Henning et al. (1984AN....305...67H). It provides
    comprehensive information on infrared and radio flux densities,
    molecular line data, association with maser sources, and outflow
    phenomena.
