Abstract:
    We present below the morphological catalogs of galaxies in the GOODS
    North and South fields, as determined visually by R. S. Ellis with a
    magnitude limit from HST/ACS imaging of z<22.5 (AB).

Note (1): Classification type is based on the following scale:
     -2 = Star
     -1 = Compact
      0 = E
      1 = E/S0
      2 = S0
      3 = Sab
      4 = S
      5 = Scd
      6 = Irr
      7 = Unclass
      8 = Merger
      9 = Fault
     -9 = Fault
    For more information on this scale see Brinchmann et al.
