Scientific paper

The southern extension of the Abell Catalog of Rich Clusters of Galaxies has been completed and for the most part is compatible with the survey done by Abell in 1957. The southern data have been collected from a survey of United Kingdom 1.2-m Schmidt telescope IIIa-J plates and films and have been reduced to the systems defined by the northern data previously published by Abell (1958). A revised northern catalog, including Bautz-Morgan types and redshifts where known, is also included in the new compilation. The new catalog contains data on 4073 rich clusters of galaxies, each of which has at least 30 members within the magnitude range m3 to m3 + 2, where m3 is the magnitude of the third-brightest cluster member, and with each cluster having a nominal redshift less than 0.2.
