original BSL catalog.

The [*Hipparcos*]{}, [*Tycho*]{}, NPM1, and SPM 2.0 catalogs included a number of “targeted” RR Lyrae stars which were not included in the BSL catalog, some of which have radial velocity and abundance estimates available in the literature. We thus added a total of 182 RR Lyrae stars to our revised catalog, including many with metallicities greater than the nominal cutoff of the BSL catalog. A small number of non-variables which were not included in the BSL catalog, but which have available radial velocities and abundance estimates, were also added. As a result of the revised abundances, described in more detail below, a small number of HK survey stars which were originally assigned metallicities $\feh \le -0.6$ presently have values above this limit. These stars are noted in the revised catalog.

Column (1) of Table 1A lists the star names. We have endeavored to follow the IAU-recommended nomenclature, but in a few cases had to abbreviate the star name in order to save space. In any case, the positional identification is usually unambiguous. All adopted positions were updated to the ICRS (2000.0) system. Columns (2) and (3) of Table 1A list the right ascension and declination of the
