This is a revision. The revisions are minor. The new version of the catalogshould be used in preference to the old. The most serious error in the olderversion was that $\theta_diff$ was incorrect, being sometimes far too large,for Reiz and Franco entries; the correct values are all zero for thatreference. We present an agglomeration of stellar polarization catalogs with results for9286 stars. We have endeavored to eliminate errors, provide accurate(arcsecond) positions, sensibly weight multiple observations of the same star,and provide reasonable distances. This catalog is included as an ASCII file(catalog.txt) in the source of this submission.Comment: The most serious error in the older version was that $\theta_diff$ was incorrect, being sometimes far too large, for Reiz and Franco entries; the correct values are all zero for that reference. 11 pages, no figures. Accepted for Astronomical Journal. Catalog also available as an ASCII file by anonymous FTP from ftp://vermi.berkeley.edu/pub/polcat/p14.ou
