A catalog of UBVRI-prime photometric data for 167 stars of 5.7-15 m V projected onto the L 1642 dark cloud in the zone -6 deg 05 arcmin to -7 deg 00 arcmin is presented. The photometric catalog was made using the Mt. Maidanak 60-cm reflector with a pulse-counting photometer during 1978-1990. Eighty-three cluster members were selected from neighboring stars. The selection method is described. Most B3-B9 stars are found to lie on the premain sequence. The stars with enhanced luminosity are mainly K0-K7, the majority being variable and emission objects. No dependence of the stars' peculiarities (IR, UV excess, variability, and line emission) on spectral type is found, which is interpreted as the absence of sequential evolution in the cluster.
