The region of Collinder 121
The distribution of bright B-type stars in a field with a radius of5° centred at the Galactic open cluster Cr 121 is studied utilizingStrömgren and Hβ photometry. All PPM stars earlier thanspectral type A0 are used, revealing a loose nearby structure at adistance of 660-730pc, and a compact more distant group, which appearsto be a genuine cluster: Cr 121. Based on similar coordinates, distancesand positions on the colour-magnitude (CM) and Hertzsprung-Russell (HR)diagrams, 11 photometric cluster members are selected at a mean distanceof 1085(+/-41 standard error) pc. The results are discussed in the lightof both classical and Hipparcos points of view.

Vitesses radiales. Catalogue WEB: Wilson Evans Batten. Subtittle: Radial velocities: The Wilson-Evans-Batten catalogue.
We give a common version of the two catalogues of Mean Radial Velocitiesby Wilson (1963) and Evans (1978) to which we have added the catalogueof spectroscopic binary systems (Batten et al. 1989). For each star,when possible, we give: 1) an acronym to enter SIMBAD (Set ofIdentifications Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data) ofthe CDS (Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg). 2) the numberHIC of the HIPPARCOS catalogue (Turon 1992). 3) the CCDM number(Catalogue des Composantes des etoiles Doubles et Multiples) byDommanget & Nys (1994). For the cluster stars, a precise study hasbeen done, on the identificator numbers. Numerous remarks point out theproblems we have had to deal with.

Uvby-beta observations of 528 type B stars with V between the 8th and 9th magnitude
The paper presents uvby-beta measurements of 528 type B stars selectedfrom the SAO Catalog on the basis of two criteria: the spectral types inthe range B3-B5 and mV between the 8th and the 9th magnitude. Reddeningindependent (c1) values are estimated from the spectral classificationand compared to the observed values. No systematic trend with observed(b-y), H-beta, or spectral type appears to be present, but the range of(c1) residuals is surprisingly large. A rather large part of the starshas small beta values, smaller than for the BIa supergiants. Only twoare classified as O stars and most of them have the suffix e, ne, ornne. Most beta values for the O type stars are slightly above the upperlimit of 2.585 m.

The evolution of low ionization QSO absorption systems
A CCD spectroscopic survey of Mg II and Mg I absorption lines in a C IVselected sample of 35 metal systems, observed toward 12 QSOs between z =1.1 and z = 2.1, is reported. Six Mg I and 10 Mg II absorption lines aredetected in 33 C IV clouds, and some peculiarities are noted. Thecomplex or asymmetric line profiles reveal that multiple components arepresent and that variations in the C IV/Mg II and Mg II/Mg I ratio mayoccur often from one component to another with a velocity separationless than the velocity resolution of about 100 km/s. Comparison with theMg II absorption-line statistics at z-bar = 0.5 implies that, at z-bar =1.6, there are more strong absorbers per unit z with W(2796) greaterthan 0.6 A and fewer weak absorbers. The evolutionary parameter gammaappears to depend on W(min): its value drops as W(min) is reduced and isnegative at W(min) = 0.15 A. This suggests a different redshiftevolution for the population of weak and strong Mg II absorbers.

The ultraviolet spectrum and interstellar environment of HD 50896
Data from 92 high-resolution IUE 1150-3274-A spectra are compiled intables and graphs and analyzed in detail to characterize HD 50896 andits interstellar environment. Findings reported include unexceptionaldepletions in the low-velocity H I system, strong low-velocity lines(attributed to excitation in an H II region associated with HD 50896 atdistance 2-3 kpc), an absorption system blueshifted by about 30 km/sfrom the low-velocity gas (attributed to ring nebula S308), andhigh-velocity absorption systems with evidence of grain destruction(attributed to an old SNR).

High-velocity interstellar gas in the line of sight to the Wolf-Rayet star HD 50896
The large shell of interstellar gas (IG) discovered toward HD 50896 byHeckathorn and Fesen (1984) is characterized on the basis ofhigh-dispersion IUE SWP and LWR spectra of 19 objects located within 4deg of HD 50896 (but outside the optical ring nebula S308) at distances0.6-2.9 kpc (compared to 1.5 kpc for HD 50896). The IG is found to havetwo components (at velocities -80 and -125 km/s), diameter 90 pc orgreater, and distance 1.0 + or - 0.2 kpc, demonstrating that it is notrelated to HD 50896 and suggesting that it is a highly evolved supernovaremnant associated with cluster Cr 121.

High-velocity interstellar gas in the line-of-sight to HD 50896
Using high-dispersion IUE spectra, a large interstellar shell structurewas discovered in the line-of-sight to the Wolf-Rayet star HD 50896.Blue-shifted interstellar absorption lines indicative of high-velocitygas are present in the spectra of four B stars located up to 2 deg awayfrom HD 50896 and at a distance of 1000 to 1400 parsecs, suggesting alinear diameter for the structure of at least 40 parsecs. Thesehigh-velocity components, present only in the low ionization lines andexhibiting nearly cosmic abundances, can be interpreted as a heretoforeunknown and extremely old supernova remnant. The existence of such asupernova remnant potentially associated with HD 50896, a runawayWolf-Rayet star believed to have a compact companion, implies that HD50896 may be a binary in its second Wolf-Rayet phase of evolution.

Optical observations of ultraviolet objects. I - Spectral classification of 103 stars /l = 200-275 deg/
Results are presented of a program of spectral classification of 103stars originally selected as ultraviolet objects from TD-1 satellitephotometry with the S2/68 experiment. Most of the objects appear to bespectroscopically normal stars; the method of selection yielded a sampleof relatively unreddened B stars at distances up to about 2 kpc. Thisresult is compared with recent studies of the spatial distribution ofinterstellar extinction in the same regions of the sky.

H-beta photometry of southern early-type stars
H-beta photoelectric photometry is presented for 209 southern hemisphereearly-type stars from the HD catalog with galactic latitudes /b/ greaterthan 6 deg. Four-color photometry exists for all these stars and MKtypes for most of them. Absolute magnitudes have been estimated for allbut the emission-line stars and distances from the sun and the galacticplane determined.
