height $h = 125$ pc. The reddening to a given star at distance $D$ is reduced compared to the total reddening by a factor $\exp[- |D
\sin b|/h ]$, where $b$ is the galactic latitude. An iteration procedure is employed to obtain consistent values of $E_{B-V}$ and $D$. The final adopted reddening is listed in column (13) of Table 1A.

### Classification of Stellar Types

Column (14) of Table 1A lists the classification of each stellar type. We follow the coding of BSL – D: main-sequence dwarf star; A: main-sequence A-type star; TO: main-sequence turnoff star; SG: subgiant star; G: giant star; AGB: asymptotic giant branch star; FHB: field horizontal-branch star; V: variable stars other than the RR Lyrae type. For the RR Lyraes, we use a code ’RRV’ to distinguish them from other types of variable stars. Most of the classifications are taken from the BSL catalog, with the exception of a few stars where we have adopted the classifications from Norris, Bessel, & Pickles (1995) (HD 13359: G; HD 17233: SG; HD 219221: D; HD 217808: G; CPD-62 394: G) and Anthony-Twarog & Twarog (1994) (HD 161770: TO; BD-01 1792: G; HD 17072: AGB; HD 41667: G).
