Description: 
  In the fourth and final of a series of papers on the late B to the
  early F type stars, the MK spectral classification system for
  the late B type stars is refined. The effect of rotation on both
  spectral classification and Stromgren photometry of these stars is 
  considered. The work of Morgan by is extended by the establishment of 
  self-consistent sequences of narrow and broadlined standards. A number of 
  Bp-star classifications are refined and compared with Stromgren photometry.
