Radii, b26 magnitudes, (b-r) colors, position angles, and ellipticities have been measured for 6925 galaxies in a 5-sq deg field enclosing the close pair of rich clusters A2197 and A2199. The color-magnitude diagrams are consistent with model diagrams based on a field luminosity function and suitable K-corrections, and they provide a means of separating cluster spirals and early type galaxies. The results show that the inner region of A2199 has a steeper luminosity function than its outer parts, and that the surface density and velocity dispersion profiles of A2199 are well represented by isotropic orbits.
