| Probable new halo stars toward L = 360 deg, B = +30 deg
The Stock objective-prism radial-velocity survey catalog has beensearched for probable halo giants at intermediate Galactic longitude. Atotal of 83 objects were found. The sample yielded a velocity dispersionof 98 + or - 8 km/sec and a frequency of 0.15 halo giants brighter thanm(pg) = 11.5/sq deg.
| Southern stars of high radial velocity
First, it has been shown that the Stock Velocity Survey is a usefulsource of velocity information on 8-13th mag southern stars. Theparticular use has been to identify stars of very large velocity.Thackeray (1975) has tabulated those galactic objects with heliocentricradial velocities over 250 km/s; his list contains 69 objects, of which59 are stellar. The authors have found twelve more stars. Second, theslit spectra of a sample of high-velocity stars in the Stock Surveyrevealed several extremely metal-weak stars. Abundance analysis forthese objects would be worthwhile. Finally, among the high-velocityobjects are a surprising number of late B and early A stars. In mostinstances, these objects appear to be spectroscopically normal,main-sequence stars, but three are definite A + G spectrum binaries.High-velocity binaries are rare.

| Radial velocities from microdensitometer scans of objective-prism spectra
Measures were made from scans of objective-prism spectra of more than1000 stars on four plates using a PDS microdensitometer. The plates areall of a single star field and were taken with the CTIO Schmidttelescope. They have been measured by hand in the course of theobjective-prism radial velocity survey of CIDA. Reductions of themeasures were made in order to determine whether this very rapid machinecan be used to obtain positions of spectral lines with no loss ofprecision when compared to the measures made by hand. Results of thereduction show that the PDS measures can be used to obtain radialvelocities as accurately as the hand measures. In addition, photometricparameters are computed which allow the determination of photographicblue magnitudes, color indices, and quantitative spectralclassifications. The ease and rapidity of obtaining the scans indicatethat many large-scale studies of galactic structure and kinematics arepractical as well as possible.
| Radial velocities of faint stars from objective prism plates
A simple method by which the approximate radial velocity of a star maybe obtained from objective prism plates is described in detail. Themethod has been used to derive the velocities of 41 faint stars, most ofwhich have metal-weak spectra and are shown to be high-velocity objects.It is shown that this method may be generalized so that the radialvelocities for all measurable stars on an objective prism plate can beobtained.
