\caption{A compilation of luminosities and abundances for a sample of nearby
dwarf star-forming galaxies. The abundances listed in Col.~6 have
been taken from the publication the number of which is given in Col.~8 and have been computed with the method identified in Col.~7: 1~= direct method but temperature not computed, assumed $T_{{\rm e}}=10~000~{\rm K}$; 2~= direct method; 3~= unknown. The publication numbers correspond to
the following papers: (1)~Hunter \& Hoffman \cite{hunter_hoffman99};
(2)~\mbox{Hidalgo-Gàmez} \& Olofsson (\cite{hidalgo-gamez_olofsson02});
(3)~Vigroux et~al. (\cite{vigroux_etal87}); (4)~\mbox{Storchi-Bergmann}
et~al. (\cite{storchi-bergmann_etal94}); (5)~Martin (\cite{martin97});
(6)~Kobulnicky \& Skillman (\cite{kobulnicky_skillman96}); (7)~average
$\pm1\sigma$ of abundances from the following papers: Izotov \&
Thuan (\cite{izotov_thuan04}), Hunter \& Hoffman (\cite{hunter_hoffman99}),
Thuan \& Izotov (\cite{thuan_izotov05a},b), Alloin et~al. (\cite{alloin_etal79}),
Shi et~al. (\cite{shi_etal05}); (8) Izotov \& Thuan (\cite{izotov_thuan98});
(9) Shi et~al. (\cite{shi_etal05}); (10) Thuan \& Izotov (\cite{thuan_izotov05a},b);
(11) \mbox{van Zee} et~al. (\cite{vanzee_etal97}); (12) Izotov
\& Thuan (\cite{izotov_thuan98}); (13) Izotov \& Thuan (\cite{izotov_thuan97}).
Most distances were taken from Hunter \& Elmegreen (\cite{hunter_elmegreen06};
HE06): in Col.~10 the label~``h'' means that these authors computed
the distance from the recession velocity, while a number identifies
their source publication for the distance. If no distance is given
in HE06, then we derived it using the NED velocity and $H_{\circ}=72~{\rm km}~{\rm s}^{-1}~{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. Finally the DDO~43 distance is from Sharina (2004, private communication;
cited in Karachentsev et~al. \cite{karachentsev_etal04}).}\label{tab:A-compilation-of}
