     Note: Variable stars in the LSIC were taken initially from the GCVS2 
     (1968) and later Name Lists as they became available during the 
     second-epoch phase of the NPM program starting 1970's.  The parts
     included in ICSS are now almost equivalent to GCVS4, except for some
     updated corrections for individual stars.

    3. Star Lists and Fields (13 classes)
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Several large catalogs and star lists, but not all, were given a class 
    code KLA in ICSS.  Other catalogs and lists reside in the Lick Star 
    Identification Catalog simply by their ''ref'' number and specific class 
    of star.  The user should consult the files listing publications, either 
    lsicref1.dat (arranged by increasing ''ref'' number) or lsicref2.dat 
    (alphabetically by first author).

    Catalogs/Lists     CMC = Carlsberg Meridian Circle Catalogues (ref0817)   
                       CNS = Catalogue of Nearby Stars #3 (ref0810)
                       DCL = Dark clouds: Bok 227 and Lynds 121 (ref0748)
                       tyc = Tycho-2 Catalogue 

                       EUV = Extreme Ultraviolet Sources (ref0732, etc)
                       IRA = IRAS infrared sources (ref1063, etc)
                       LK  = Lick discovery (11 stars, ref0637)
                       LNK = Hipparchos Link Stars (Argue list, ref0578)
                       PPN = Pre-planetary nebula (ref1088. ref1011)
                       YPC = Yale Parallax Catalog #3 (ref0809)

    Star fields        STA = Stellar association Cep OB3 (ref1015)  
                       HYA = Hyades astrometry (Hanson, ref1005)
                       RNB = Reflection nebula (ref0967)
