The spectral types are taken from the O-star catalogue of Maiz-Apellaniz et al. (2004) and listed in Col. 2, with the dates of the observations provided in the third column. The errors in the polarization data (Col. 4) are of the order of 0.01% based on photon-statistics only. Yet, systematic (external) errors in the polarization are estimated to be 0.1%. The errors in the PA $\theta $ (Col. 5) are of order a degree. The literature values of the polarization and PA are taken from the catalogue of Mathewson et al. (1978) and so are the values for the ISP (Cols. 8 and 9). The last Col. 10 indicates whether an ISP map is well ordered and well populated (see body text in Sect. 3 for more detailed explanation).
