Description

We present BVRI and DDO photometry for 309 of the Bidelman-MacConnell ''weak-metal'' stars, together with radial velocities for most of the stars that have [Fe/H]< or =-0.8. Photometric taxonomy is used to classify the sample as giants, dwarfs, red horizontal-branch stars, UV-bright stars, etc., and various calibrations have been adopted to determine [Fe/H], M/sub V/, space motions, and orbital eccentricity e
