Five-colour photometry of OB-stars in the Southern Hemisphere
Observations of OB-stars, made in 1959 and 1960 at the Leiden SouthernStation near Hartebeespoortdam, South Africa, with the VBLUW photometerattached to the 90 cm light-collector, are given in this paper. They arecompared with photometry obtained by \cite[Graham (1968),]{gra68}\cite[Walraven & Walraven (1977),]{wal77} \cite[Lub & Pel(1977)]{lub77} and \cite[Van Genderen et al. (1984).]{gen84} Formulaefor the transformation of the present observations to those of\cite[Walraven & Walraven (1977)]{wal77} and \cite[Lub & Pel(1977)]{lub77} are given.

SANTIAGO 91, a right ascension catalogue of 3387 stars (equinox J2000).
The positions in right ascension of 3387 stars belonging to the Santiago67 Catalogue, observed with the Repsold Meridian Circle at Cerro Calan,National Astronomical Observatory, during the period 1989 to 1994, aregiven. The average mean square error of a position, for the wholeCatalogue, is +/-0.009 s. The mean epoch of the catalogue is 1991.84.

A catalog of K giants at the South Galactic Pole - Broadband and DDO photometry and radial velocities
We describe a sample of K giants at the South Galactic Pole, selected toexamine the chemical and kinematical properties of stars perpendicularto the galactic plane and to measure the local column density of thedisk. We report velocities, abundances, absolute magnitudes, andbroadband BV photometry for over 500 giants.

Local dark matter from a carefully selected sample
The precise data obtained by Flynn and Freeman (1991) on K giants at thesouth Galactic pole are used to analyze the amount of local dark matterin which the systematic effects can be modeled easily and evaluatedaccurately. The method of Bahcall (1984) is employed to solve theself-consistent equations for the distribution of dark matter. TheK-giant survey is found to provide significant evidence for disk darkmatter. Taking into account all recognized sources of error using astatistical test devised by Gould (1989, 1990), a model with no darkmatter is inconsistent with the data at the 86-percent confidence level.The best-fit P-model (in which dark matter is distributed proportionallyto known matter) has 53 percent more dark matter than visible matter.
