By 1900 there was a definite need to update the great star catalogues of the nineteenth century. First of all, the stellar coordinates in the "Bonner Durchmusterung" and other star catalogues were pinned to the epoch of 1875. Then, too, there was no systematic scale for stellar magnitudes. Finally, the nineteenth-century catalogues were all published before astronomers had any ideas, let alone data, for classifying large numbers of stars by their spectra.
