Abstract:
    Positions and estimated magnitudes are provided for 387 A-F stars
    in an 190 square degree region in southern Canes Venatici. The
    area encompassed is between R.A. 12h00m and 14h10m and Decl.
    +29deg00' and +38deg30'(1950), excluding the region R.A. 12h00m to
    13h00m and Decl. +29deg to +34deG, which was covered in a previous
    paper. The A-F stars, whose blue magnitudes are within the range 8
    through 18 (median 14), were identified on low-dispersion
    objective-prism plates taken with Case Western Reserve
    University's Burrell Schmidt telescope at Kitt Peak.

Individual remarks:
    * Star A-F 788: Red objective-prism plate taken in May 1983 shows
      no TiO but H' emission suspected according to C. B. Stephenson
      (private communication).
    * Star A-F 846: addition to remark column = MP (D&B)
