Description:
    The sample contains  the galaxies  with a  velocity  less than 500km/s
    with  respect to the centroid  of the Local Group.  The inclusion of a
    galaxy into the catalog depends on its redshift as in the catalogue of
    Kraan-Korteweg  and Tammann (1979) or on the fact that the objects are
    known  to be certain or probable member of nearby groups. The galaxies
    in  this catalogue form the Local Group, but one third of the galaxies
    does not seem to belong to any group.

    For a  detailed  explanation  of  the  astrophysical  meaning  of  the
    columns,  please refer in any case to the explanation given in Schmidt
    and Boller (1992).

    Concerning the  references, the basic  list of references  is given in
    Schmidt & Boller (1992).  The  dust  masses  of  six  dwarf  irregular
    galaxies (LGS3,  U3974, A0818+71, U8091, D210,  U12613) are taken from
    Young  et al. (1989). Additional data for several galaxies, especially
    on the  apparent magnitudes as well as on  the profile width of the 21
    cm  line at the level 50 per cent of the maximum value, are taken from
    a recent preprint by Karachentsev (1993).

Historical Notes:
    The catalogue was copied in October 1993 from anonymous ftp at node
    ftp://ftp.aip.de/pub/catalogues/nearby_galaxies.
    A few realignments have been performed; there were two SPB#015, and
    the first one was transformed into SPB#013.
