Abstract:
    Multiaperture photoelectric measurements in the B and V bands are
    presented for 601 galaxies in Volumes I, II, and V of Zwicky's
    catalogue. Large aperture observations were made in the 1960's with
    the Lick 3 m telescope and the USNO 1 m telescope. Systematics in
    Zwicky's magnitude system are investigated as a function of magnitude
    and direction in the sky. The photoelectric sample is argued to be
    representative of galaxies in Zwicky's catalogue at B ~ 15. A strong
    systematic error in Zwicky's magnitudes is apparent in Volume I
    fainter than m_z = 15.0. The B-V color distribution is discussed.
