Abstract:
    Using a CCD detector, BVRI photometry has been carried out in the
    vicinity of nine Lynds dark nebulae. In conjunction with spectroscopic
    data which could be obtained at a later stage, the data listed herein
    could be used for possible distance determinations of the nine
    nebulae.

 LDN 544 (B127): small molecular cloud which is included in the catalogue of
                 molecular clouds (Clemens and Barvainis, 1988ApJS...68..257C)
                 and which has been the subject of deep IRAS photometry and CO
                 spectroscopy (Clemens et al., 1991ApJS...75..877C)
        LDN 549: small molecular cloud which is included in the catalogue of
                  molecular clouds given by
                  Clemens and Barvainis (1988ApJS...68..257C)
 LDN 567 (B132): extended molecular cloud which has been included in the list of
                 dark clouds of opacity 6 (Parker, 1988MNRAS.235..139P)
                 used in a search for IRAS associations
 LDN 543 (B134): small molecular cloud which is included in the catalogues
                  of Clemens and Barvainis (1988ApJS...68..257C) and Parker
                  (1988MNRAS.235..139P). Interest has been shown in LDN 543 via
                  magnetisation (Porro and Silvestro, 1993A&A...275..563P) and
                  thermal emission studies (Lee and Roger, 1987ApJ...317..197L)
       LDN 1031: CO12 and CO13 observations of LDN 1031 have been made by
                  Dobashi et al (1992AJ....104.1525D)
       LDN 1225: small molecular cloud which has been the subject of NH3 and
                  C2S observations (Scappini and Codella 1996MNRAS.282..587S)
       LDN 1252: extended dark cloud composed essentially of two lobes which are
                  presented as LDN1252a,b and LDN1252-2 respectively)
       LDN 1257: dark nebula which according to Hilton and Lahulla
                  (1995A&AS..113..325H) has been the subject of interest in at
                  least eight research publications)

Note (1): the star positions and their identification were determined
    by Brian Skiff (bas@lowell.edu) in December 1997, using the
    USNO-A1.0 catalog (D. Monet, US Naval Observatory, 1997) and the
    Guide Star Catalog (Cat. <I/220>)
