1. Introduction

This is the fourth paper of a series summarising the results of mm-wavelength flux density monitoring of extragalactic radio sources with the IRAM 30 m telescope at Pico Veleta, Spain. A first selection of a sample of point-like radio sources well suited as pointing sources for the 30 m telescope was made in PaperI (Steppe et al. 1988), resulting in flux density measurements in the tex2html_wrap_inline782 range of approximately 300 extragalactic radio sources. In PaperII and III (Steppe et al. 1992, 1993) monitoring results were published for sources with flux densities tex2html_wrap_inline7841Jy at 87.7GHz (3.4mm) which are now used as standard pointing sources at the telescope. The pointing catalogue used at the telescope consists mainly of quasars and BL Lac objects; a complete list of these sources is given in Table 1 (see also Wild 1995), which is published electronically.
