Abstract:
   CCD photometry is presented for 119 stars observed in the Thuan-Gunn 
   photometric system (the passbands vgr). The sample includes 82 stars 
   for which magnitudes in this system have not previously been 
   published. Photometry in the Johnson-Kron-Cousins photometric system
   (BV or UBV) has been obtained for a sub-sample of 85 of the stars.
 
   Of those stars which are not primary standard stars for the Thuan-Gunn
   system 70 observed in Gunn r, 48 observed in Gunn g, and 37 observed 
   in Gunn v have sufficient repeat measurements that they may be used as
   secondary standard stars for CCD photometry. The typical uncertain-
   ties for the magnitudes of these stars are 0.006 mag.
