A method for determing the brightness and diameter of galaxies in a large field on Schmidt plates by automatic scanning with a microphotometer is described and applied to the A BELL cluster A 1781. The accuracy of this method is tested. The overall errors (r.m.s.) of brightness and diameter are 0.16 mag and 0″.44. The cluster A 1781 has been prooved to be a very poor cluster of about 10 members up to m B ≈ 19 m .5.
