Description:
    Table 4 contains astrometric (alpha, delta) and photometric (UBVRI)
    data for 681 secondary standard stars in the neighbourhood of several
    Landolt standard stars. Several columns contain information related to
    the origin and quality of the photometry. Cross-identifications with
    USNO-A2.0 catalogue (<I/252>) are given. Further cross-identifications
    are given in notes.
