Description:
    Proper motions with an 80 year baseline have been determined relative
    to reference stars with B=13.9mag. determined for 3086 stars brighter
    than B=15.5mag. within an area of 50' radius, centered at RA=2h16.9m,
    Dec=+57{deg}01' (1950.0). Two pairs of Tashkent normal astrograph
    plates with a mean epoch difference of 80 years was used. Proper
    motions were also measured for 1055 stars with 15.5 <= B <= 17.1 mag.
    in two areas 14' in radius, centered on the h and {chi} Persei
    clusters. Proper motions are also given for 1386 stars in an adjacent
    area (RA=2h06.7m, Dec=+56{deg}57') for 1386 stars with a 38 year
    baseline.

    The mean errors of the proper motions are equal in right ascension and
    declination. For the h and {chi} Perseus region, they are 0.0021"/a
    and for the adjacent region, they are 0.0031"/a. The proper motions in
    the adjacent area have been reduced to the system of those in the
    cluster region using 214 stars in common.

    UBV magnitudes of the stars were determined using plates taken with
    the 80/120/240 Schmidt telescope of the Radioastrophysical Observatory
    of the Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR and photoelectric
    standards published by Johnson and Morgan (1955ApJ...122..429J) and
    Widley (1964ApJS....8..439W). The number of measured plates and the
    corresponding errors are given in the following table:

    Cluster members were selected on the basis of their proper motion and
    photometric criteria. The membership probability was calculated on the
    assumption of a normal distribution of the proper motions around the
    cluster proper motion.
