- The absence of Bt values in the VPC in such cases is normally on account of the relevant galaxy images overlapping with adjacent images, thus preventing reliable colour determinations on which the BJ-to-B transformations are based.

- There are no bright resolved Local Group galaxies in the VPC field. However, Leo I (mp = 11.3) and two dwarfs near the perimeter of the Local Group, Sextans B (mp = 12.2) and GR 8 (mp = 15.3), are listed in Volume I of the CGCG. These objects (as well as the Sextans dwarf spheroidal which is missing from Volume I) are therefore beyond the scope of the current investigation.
