Description:
From high resolution, high S/N spectroscopic observations of carefully
selected northern and southern stars, abundances of O, Na, Mg, Al, Si,
Ca, Ti, Fe, Ni, Y, Zr, Ba and Nd, as well as photometric ages, are
derived for 189 nearby field F and G stars.

[Me/H] values for these 15 are given with
a colon corresponding to parantheses in
the printed version)

SB = spectroscopic binaries (with possibly
uncertain distances),
pm = stars with uncertainties in proper

above 0.005 arcsecs per year

may be underestimated by 0.15 dex).
