				<para>
   The catalog is a compilation of information for approximately 34000
   galaxies found and examined on the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS).
   Individual identifiers are assigned for about 29000 galaxies and
   information on the remaining 5000 is present in the extensive notes of the
   published catalogs (Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al. 1962-1968).  The catalog is
   structured according to the POSS zones, counting from the equator,
   and is numbered from +15 (corresponding to +90 deg) to +01 (+06 zone) and
   +00 (equatorial zone) to -05 (-30 zone); the fields are numbered with
   increasing right ascension.  The catalog includes cross-identifications to
   the NGC (Dreyer 1888) and IC (Dreyer 1895, 1908) catalogs, equatorial
   coordinates for B1950.0, magnitudes, estimated sizes and intensities of the
   brighter inner region and the entire object, and estimated inclinations.</para></description>
