AbstractRedshifts, four-band photometry (UBJRFIN), and astrometry are presented for faint galaxies in four widely separated fields. We provide the necessary information to enable well-defined, statistically complete subsamples of faint galaxies to be constructed from the master catalog. The redshift survey is 86% and 71% complete to RF <= 18.5 and RF <= 19, respectively, yielding 328 galaxies with reliable redshifts to RF <= 19, with a median redshift of 0.142. Adding the galaxies from the fainter statistical sample yields a total of 583 reliable redshifts with a median redshift of 0.202. An additional 156 redshifts in the same fields, but not part of the samples defined here, are also given. Of the 739 galaxy redshifts presented, 212 are for galaxies with RF > 20.
