Abstract:
    Radii, b26 magnitudes, (b-r) colors, position angles, and
    ellipticities have been measured on the plates of Palomar 48-inch
    Schmidt telescope taken in May 1976, for 6925 galaxies in a 5-sq deg
    field enclosing the close pair of rich clusters A2197 and A2199.

Note (1): ID contains /7J and /9J for A2197 and A2199 respectively.
Note (2): The radius r*(b) is defined as    sqrt(A/{pi})
  where A is the area of the galaxy enclosed in the 26mag/arcsec^2^ isophote
