Description:
    This paper is the fourth of a series (Trevese et al. 1992, Paper I,
    Cat. <J/A+AS/94/327>, Flin et al. 1995, Cat. <J/A+AS/110/313>, Paper II,
    Trevese et al. 1997, Cat. <J/A+AS/126/459>, Paper III)
    presenting F band photometry, from digitized 48-inch Palomar plates,
    of the galaxies brighter than m_3+3 10 clusters of galaxies.
    For each galaxy, equatorial coordinates, magnitude, size, ellipticity
    and orientation are given. We provide finding charts and contour maps
    of the galaxy surface density for each cluster.
