(3) the [*Hipparcos*]{} distance estimates $D_{HIP} = 1/\pi_{HIP}$ and in column (4) their relative precisions $\sigma_{\pi_{HIP}}/\pi_{HIP}$. Because the photometric distances for the nearest stars in our catalog have lower precision than the trigonometric parallaxes, we chose to adopt the [*Hipparcos*]{} distances for 44 stars with $\sigma_{\pi_{HIP}}/\pi_{HIP} < 0.12$. The final adopted distance estimates for our program stars are listed as $D_{adopt}$ in column (6) of Table 1B.

### The [*Hipparcos*]{} Catalogue

The [*Hipparcos*]{} Catalogue is the primary result of the first space mission dedicated to astrometry (ESA 1997), and it provides high accuracy proper motions for 118,218 stars with $V < 12.5$ mag covering the entire sky. In the present sample, 508 stars are included in this catalog with average accuracies of 1.61 mas yr$^{-1}$ in $\mu_{\alpha^\ast}$ ($=\mu_\alpha \cos\delta$) and 1.29 mas yr$^{-1}$ in $\mu_\delta$. Kinematical analyses for a subset of these [*Hipparcos*]{} stars are reported in Chiba & Yoshii (1998) and Chiba, Yoshii, & Beers (1999).

### The SPM Catalog 2.0

The Yale/San Juan Southern Proper Motion (SPM) Catalog 2.0 provides positions, absolute proper motions and photographic $B,V$ magnitudes for 321,608 objects with $5 < V < 18.5$, mainly in the
