The authors present theoretical photometric indices on the Strömgren and β systems for the published and unpublished grids of Kurucz. The indices have been placed on the standard systems using the ultraviolet and visual energy distributions of the secondary spectrophotometric standards. The common practice of using a single standard star to effect the transformation of the computed indices to the standard system is shown to produce systematic errors.
