Abstract:
    The positions in right ascension and declination of 1105 FK5 stars,
    observed with a Meridian Circle during the period 1979 to 1991, are
    given. The average mean square error of a position, for the whole
    catalog, is ±0.009s in right ascension and ±0.10arcsec in
    declination. The mean epoch of the catalog is 1983.148.
