We present morphological type estimates, together with a detailed coded description for 59 galaxies in Coma and 80 in Perseus. The material for the morphological type estimates is adapted to the difficulty of morphological classification, ranging from Schmidt plates for obvious Ss to CCD data with a median restframe resolution of 0.65-0.75 Kpc for early-types.
In the present paper and in two previous ones (Paper I; Poulain
et al. 1992) we classify two magnitude complete samples of galaxies: all
(187) galaxies in Coma brighter than mag within 1 degree from the
cluster center and all (139) galaxies in Perseus brighter than
mag in a box of
. At the distance of these
two clusters, we sample an area of 17 and 91 Mpc2 and distances of up to
2.3 and 6.4 Mpc from the cluster center, for Coma and Perseus respectively,
and 4 to 5 orders of magnitude in galaxy density. The ranges of explored
clustercentric distances and galaxy densities allow us to study how the
cluster affects the galaxy properties. The results for Coma, based on these
data, are presented in Andreon (1996). For Perseus, work is in progress.
