Summary:
    A list of galaxies brighter than 18m with the coordinates in the
    range RA=[10h42m,15h28m], Dec=[+28deg10min,+28deg10min] is
    presented. The list contains data on apparent photographic
    magnitude, angular, axial ratio and radial velocity for more than
    300 objects. Emission and absorption line galaxies found show an
    essentially different character in their spatial distribution.

Notes:
   The following columns are not in the electronic version of table1:
   - Linear diameter of the galaxy A=a*Vo/H, expressed in kpc, the
     Hubble constant H being equal to 75 km/s/Mpc
   - Absolute magnitude M=m-5log(Vo/H)-25-{DELTA}m, where
     {DELTA}m=0.25+1.e-5*Vo accounts for average absorption value
     at high galactic latitudes and the K-correction for a galaxy
     of intermediate type.

Note (1) Individual remarks:
   #  23. Probably belongs to Seyfert-1 type.
   #  37. Inner motion amplitude equals 192km/s
   #  41. Spectral signs of Seyfert-2.
   #  95. Declination is somewhat higher than the survey upper border.
   # 110. Haro 31. The value Vo=7883+/-86 (DuPuy 1970) is not confirmed
          by the Arecibo observations.
   # 229. The radial velocity is measured at 21 cm in Arecibo. According
          to Gregory (1975), Vo=+6654.
   # 253. Vo=+10867 (Moody & Kirshner 1988).
   # 256. Inner motion amplitude 210 km/s.
   # 257. Inner motion amplitude 400 km/s.
   # 321. Inner motion amplitude 133 km/s.
   # 358. According to Strauss & Huchra (1988), Vo=+17342+/-56.
   # 375. Instead of unreliable optical estimation Vo=+9300:+/-150
          we give the velocity +9604+/-8km/s, measured at Arecibo.
