The catalogue is divided into 22 declination zones, each of which is assigned to each observatory, e.g., a zone from +18 to +24 degrees is to Paris observatory. Each observatory has taken photographs of 2 deg x 2 deg area in and covering each zone, measured the X,Y coordinates of star images on the photographic plates, and published the results as the printed catalogues. The present catalogue is the results of reduction of these X,Y coordinates into right ascension and declination values, for declination zones of +05 to +31, by using AGK2/3 catalogue as the reference. Data completeness: Incompletenesses of the data are as follows: (1) The latter half of the data of zone +04 is missing. (2) Declination values for negative declination zones have different expres sions details of which are unknown. (3) X,Y coordinate values are attached but are different from those values published by Alger observatory.
