ADC_Keywords: Galaxy catalogs Description: 630 double systems of galaxies brighter than about 17mag(B) were found by examining 100 glass copies of ESO(B) survey plates, covering the Southern Galactic Cap (GLAT←50deg, DE←27deg). The selection criteria are similar to those defined by Zonn (1962). The measuring, reduction and error analysis parameters have been described by Zou et al. (1984).
