Photographic photometry in U, B, r , of 265 compact galaxies from a sample selected by R ICHTER , R ICHTER , and S CHNELLER (1972) is presented. The colours of most of them resemble the colour of E‐galaxies. A few objects show a blue or ultraviolet excess if compared with E‐galaxies. Some of these may be galaxies with an active nucleus (Seyfert or N‐Type).
