A brief description is given of methods used to find 745 compact galaxies in a 36 sq deg-field around M3. These constitute 24–40% of all galaxies in this area, brighter than 18.5 magnitude in B. Significant clustering found is related to Zwicky clusters of compact galaxies. Photographic 3-color photometry has been carried out. There seems to be no physical difference between cluster and field objects. The catalogue is to be published elsewhere, together with finding charts and detailed discussion of the photometry and statistics.
