ADC_Keywords: Radial velocities; Regional catalog

Description:
   This catalog contains a list of radial velocities, obtained from "Grand 
   Prisme Objectif" (GPO) plates from La Silla, for 764 stars in three fields 
   in the Vela-Carina region of the galaxy. The method of reduction is described
   in Duflot and Fehrenbach (1955) and Duflot et al. (1958).

  63- 64  A2     ---     rem     *Remark about dispersion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on age:
   1 = young star
   2 = less young
   3 = intermediate

Note on rem:
   *  = velocity is larger than twice the dispersion
   ** = velocity is larger than three times the dispersion.
