a total sample of 1936 stars.

In this paper we present a revision of the BSL catalog of Paper I, based on additional observational information which has recently become available. In addition to revisions of metallicities for the published HK survey stars, new photometric distance estimates have been made for the entire BSL catalog based on an internally self-consistent methodology, and in some cases, new photometry. Radial velocities have been updated based on recently-obtained high-resolution data for a number of stars. Much more accurate positional information for the stars in our revised catalog has been obtained by comparison with astrometric positions available for many of the brighter stars in our sample, plus improved information from automated scans of wide-field photographic plates, such as compiled in USNO-A V2.0 (Monet et al. 1998), NPM1 (Klemola, Hanson, & Jones 1993), and SPM 2.0 (Platais et al. 1998). We have also added 182 RR Lyrae variables from the recent work of Layden (1994), Layden et al. (1996), and Fernley et al. (1998), so that useful comparisons of the kinematics of these stars with the non-variables (which presumably sample the same Galactic phase space) can be carried out.
