Abstract:
    This is the second of the papers devoted to derive radial velocities
    and iron abundances of field RR Lyraes observed by HIPPARCOS. Our
    abundances show good agreement with those in the literature obtained
    both from photometric ({DELTA}S index) and spectroscopic methods.
    Binary candidates and stars misclassified as RR Lyraes in the original
    HIPPARCOS list have been also identified.

Note (2): {DELTA}S values from previous work have been transformed to [Fe/H]
           using [Fe/H] = -0.13-0.195{DELTA}S (Fernley & Barnes 1996).
           As discussed in the text, the uncertainty in the [Fe/H] values,
           both from previous work and this work, is typically +/-0.13 dex.
