The cross-identification tables of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) contain all GCVS (including variables from the Catalogue of Extragalactic Variable stars), NSV (New Catalogue of Suspected Variable stars) and Supplement to the NSV stars as well as stars from the name-lists of variable stars nos. 67 - 83; it also makes it possible to find out identifications between the GCVS and the NSV catalogue.

We tried to provide as complete lists as possible for the stars identified with the catalogues HD, BD, CoD, CPD, BS, ADS, Hip, GSC and for the stars with preliminary HV (Harvard Variable) designations. As for the other catalogues, our task here was more difficult since we had to rely upon references to source catalogue names made by variable star researchers; the tables in the present volume reproduce the materials used in our work, and incompleteness seems to be inavoidable.

The table with the catalogues and lists arranged in the alphabet order of the abbreviated names of source catalogs and lists.
