				<para>
   The purpose of this catalog is to provide bibliographic references to
   spectral classifications of stars in the Morgan-Keenan system published in
   the literature prior to January 1963.  The catalog includes, with few
   exceptions, only objects contained in the Durchmusterungen:  BD, SD, CD,
   and CPD.  Objects belonging to stellar clusters and extragalactic nebulae
   were excluded from the catalog if they are not listed in the
   Durchmusterungen.  The catalog includes sequential numbers, HD and DM
   numbers, right ascension and declination (B1900.0), magnitudes, spectral
   classifications, and bibliographic references.  This machine-readable
   version was modified and corrected with errata at the Astronomical Data
   Center/Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center.</para></description>

			<para>
   For any given star there may be as many as 11 records.  The first
   record of such a group gives a spectral classification and
   references, while subsequent records may be used merely to continue
   the list of references which gave that classification, or
   subsequent records are used to give different classifications
   (and associated references) for the given star.</para></footnote></definition>
