				<para>
    The results of photoelectric UBV photometry of 234 AB stars in the
    southern galactic halo are presented. The stars were chosen from the
    Curtis Schmidt objective-prism survey of Preston and Shectman and
    comprise a sample of halo objects selected without kinematic bias. The
    majority of the stars lie in the region of the (U-B, B-V) plane
    occupied by field and globular cluster blue horizontal-branch stars.</para></description>
