D. Abstract Integrated magnitudes and colors of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy derived from photoelectric scans with the 36-inch reflector are BT = 9.04 (MT = -13.0 if m - M = 22 0), (B - V) = +063, (U-B) = +008. The luminosity distribution shows a nearly uniform central core of (r) - 6' and maximum brightness = 24.6 mag sec2 in an envelope of gradient G(a) = d(log 1)/da = - 0.077 min'~ = -1.15 kpc'. The effective equivalent radius is (re*) = 9~4 where /16(B) = 25.2 mag sec2 and the system may be detected out to an average diameter in excess of 10. The photometry is compared with star counts by Hodge and with new counts on a 40-inch reflector plate. I.
