Abstract:
    We present a sample of galaxies in six fields, each of area 2 sq deg,
    located in the North and South galactic polar caps. Photoelectrically
    calibrated photographic magnitudes and J-F colors have been determined
    for 512 galaxies brighter than completeness limits which range from
    F=16.5 to F=17.2 among the fields. Velocities, with typical
    accuracies of 150km/s have been obtained for 280 of the brighter
    galaxies. Using these data and previously published work, we determine
    the general galaxy luminosity function parameters to be M*_F_=-22.7,
    {alpha}=-1.25, and the mean visual luminosity density of the universe to
    be {rho}=2.3x10^8^hL_{sun}_/Mpc^3^. Assuming M/L_v_=300h, this implies
    {OMEGA}~0.26.
