Description:
A catalogue of all the periods published up to 31 October 1996 on 364
CP stars is presented; it supersedes the previous version (catalog
III/152).
The paper version (catalog.tex) is arranged in three tables: the bulk
of the data, i.e. those referring to CP2, CP3, and CP4 stars, are
given in Table 1, while the data concerning He-strong stars are given
in Table 2 and those for eclipsing or ellipsoidal variables are
collected in Table 3. Notes are also provided at the end of each
table, mainly about duplicities.
The machine-readable version was arranged in two main parts: the main
parameters of the 364 stars (identifiers and names, positions,
spectral types, magnitudes and peculiarities) are tabulated in the
file 'stars'; periods and the of the observed variations (light,
spectrum, magnetic field, etc.) are listed in the 'periods' file.
Two other files contains the notes and the references.

Table 2 deals with He-string stars, and
Table 3 with eclipsing or ellipsoidal variables.
Note (2): He wk means that the star belongs the the He weak subgroup.

History:
This version of the catalog, superseding the one distributed by
CDS between July 1997 and February 1998, differs for only 7 stars.

version of the Catalog of the Periods of Ap and Am stars
in February 1997 on request from CDS.
