Object:Group of G  (SIMBAD class: GroupG = Group of Galaxies)
  Note:The complete sample of poor Cl of G    by White+Bhavsar+Bormann 1983, has not been published.
    It contains over 600 poor clusters.
    In Hanisch 1984, N=37. In Burns+ 1987, N=139.
    In the format, 'BB' stands for galactic latitude,    (N45 means that the cluster is at a North galactic latitude    between 40deg and 50deg.)
