Large-scale photographs of 43 galaxies with UV excess from the lists of Kazarian (1979) and Kazarian and Kazarian (1980), obtained in 25-min exposures at 20 arcsec/mm with the 2.6-m reflector at Biurakan Astrophysical Observatory during summer, 1980, are presented and characterized in terms of morphology. The majority of the galaxies are found to have well defined nuclear regions or condensations. About 60 percent are classified as spirals, 25 percent as ellipticals, and 15 percent as compact. Isodensity charts of eight galaxies are included. 5 references.
