The compilation of a machine-readable catalogue of relatively bright galaxies was undertaken in Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory (Kogoshvili 1972; 1975) in order to facilitate the statistical analysis of a large observational material on galaxies from the Palomar Sky Survey. This catalogue is mainly based on the data from the MCG catalogue (Vorontsov-Veljaminov et al, 1962-1968) supplied with information from the UGC (Nilson, 1973), RCBG (De Vaucouleurs and De Vaucouleurs, 1964), CGCG catalogues (Zwicky et al, 1961-1968) and from other sources.
