Abstract:
As a first step towards a redetermination of the luminosity function
and space distribution of field galaxies, we present data on a
magnitude limited sample of galaxies in eight fields in the north and
south galactic polar caps. Redshifts, accurate to about 100 km/s have
been obtained for 164 of 184 galaxies brighter than J=15.0 (B~15.5) We
have also measured magnitudes and colors for a large sample of 807
galaxies, complete to J~15.7.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): When the photographic photometry was bad, the magnitude is estimated
to 0.1mag and no color is given.
In NP6, our red plate was too small to cover the entire region
surveyed in J. Galaxies without colors are those beyond the red field.
Note (2): The rms uncertainty on the velocities, as determined from the scatter
in velocity determinations from individual lines is 100km/s.
Velocities that have internal accuracies at least a factor of 2
better than the mean are indicated by a "+" sign, those that are a
factor of 2 worse than the mean are indicated by a "-" sign.
