Abstract:
  Accurate positions and charts for 1707 carbon stars in the Small Magellanic 
  Cloud identified on GRISM plates are presented. The catalog provides data 
  on magnitudes, colors, and carbon-abundance measurements and can be used 
  for selecting carbon stars with special characteristics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): remarks are numbered as follows:
   1= Doubtful C star
   2= spectrophotometry not possible because of overlapping spectra
   3= spectrophotometry not possible because of underexposed spectrum
   4= spectrophotometry not possible because of overexposed spectrum
   5= very red carbon star
   6= very faint carbon star in field A or B and detected at a late stage 
        in the survey by E. Rebeirot
   7= medium resolution slit spectroscopy available
   8= IR photometry in the Johnson JHK system available

Note (2): acronyms for identifications are
 ABW  = Westerlund et al., 1986 (A&AS 65, 79)
 BMB  = Blanco et al., 1980 (ApJ 242, 938)
 LEGC = Lloyd Evans et al., 1988 (MNRAS 231, 773)
 RM   = Reid & Mould, 1990 (ApJ 360, 490)
 NGC 371 = Lloyd Evans, 1978 (MNRAS 183, 305)
