We present the results of an isophotal shape analysis of galaxies in the
Coma and Perseus clusters. These data, together with those of two
previous papers, provide two complete samples of galaxies with reliable
Hubble types in rich clusters:
1) all galaxies brighter than 
falling within one degree
(
Mpc) from the center of the Coma cluster (187 galaxies),
2) all galaxies brighter than 
in a region of 5°3' × 5°27' around the center of the Perseus cluster (139 galaxies).
These two complete samples cover 5 orders of magnitude in galaxy density and
span areas of 91 and 17 Mpc2, clustercentric radii up to 6.4 and 2.3
Mpc, for Perseus and Coma respectively. They will be used in subsequent
papers to study the dependence of galaxy types on cluster environment and as
reference samples in comparisons with distant clusters.
