Abstract:
    In addition to the list of UBV photometries of 955 galactic foreground
    stars in the direction to the Large Magellanic Cloud published by
    Gochermann et al. (1993A&AS...99..591G), a supplement of 545 stars is
    presented, which have been measured with the same photometric
    accuracy. Moreover, less reliable photometries of 379 further
    foreground stars are listed in a separate table. The homogeneous data
    base of more than 1500 high accuracy photometries represented by these
    stars has been used to construct a reddening distribution map of the
    galactic foreground towards the LMC by Oestreicher et al.
    (1995A&AS..112..495O).
