Abstract:
    We have obtained integrated and nuclear spectra as well as U, B, R
    surface photometry for a representative sample of 196 nearby galaxies.
    These galaxies span the entire Hubble sequence in morphological type,
    as well as a wide range of luminosities (MB=-14 to -22). Here we
    present the spectrophotometry for these galaxies. The selection of the
    sample and the U, B, R surface photometry is described in a companion
    paper (J/ApJS/126/271).

Description:
    The spectroscopic observations reported here were made with the FAST
    spectrograph at the F. L. Whipple Observatory's 1.5m Tillinghast
    telescope.

Note (1): relative to F(Hβ)=1.
     Where Hβ was not detected in emission or was too faint for
     accurate measurement [EW(Hβ)≳-0.5Å], the remaining
     emission-line fluxes are given with respect to f(Hα)=1.
