Abstract

Systematic corrections to the magnitudes of galaxies in the Zwicky and the Shapley-Ames catalogues have been determined and are tabulated here. The corrections are based on the photographic measures by Holmberg, published photoelectric measures, and 392 photoelectric measures by Kron and Shane. These latter are mostly in the fainter magnitude range. The corrections for Volume I of the Zwicky Catalogue differ substantially from those for Volumes II to VI.
