We introduce a catalogue of X-ray binaries. The full catalogue is available
at http://astroa.physics.metu.edu.tr/XRBC/. The aim of this catalogue is t
o provide basic information about X-ray sources and their counterparts. The
catalog contains positions, information about distances and counterparts,
spectral, photometric and timing properties of the X-ray sources in the X-r
ay and optical bands, as well as references. The list of references, commen
ts and the catalog as a whole will be periodically updated to include the m
ost up-to-date information about all X-ray binaries and guide users to the
recent literature on individual sources. In some cases, there is some doubt
about the nature of an X-ray source, which has been noted. The sources are
ordered according to right ascension. Here, we present a guide to the orga
nization of the full catalogue. The full catalogue is represented here with
an excerpt containing two HMXBs and two LMXBs as examples. (C) 2000 MAIK "
