ADC_Keywords: Abundances ; Stars, population II ; Space velocities Keywords: Halo; Stars, kinematics; galaxies, internal motions Description: A catalog is presented of some 1200 Galactic objects which have radial velocities and abundances [Fe/H]≤-0.6. These data have been analyzed to yield information on the kinematic properties of the older populations of the Galaxy and on the interdependence between kinematics and abundance.
