\caption{Main properties of the obtained VL~samples: $r_{{\rm min}}$, $r_{{\rm max}}$ are the chosen limits for the metric distance; ${M_{{\rm min}}, M_{{\rm max}}}$ are the interval for
the absolute magnitude and~$N_{\rm g}$ is the resulting number of galaxies
in each sample. }\label{tbl_VLSamplesProperties}
