The velocity components in the galactic plane in the directions 60 and 330 degrees longitude have been computed for 631 nearby stars. Average and standard deviations of these componets were calculated for the whole population and for samples obtained by stratifying the positions of the stars in parallel strips. Two orientations were used, each one comprising strips of different widths, parallel to one and to the other of the directions. Dispersions in components along 330-150 deg are found to present inhomogeneities, no matter how wide the strips are, when the stratification is orthogonal to this direction. For components along 240-60 deg, the only inhomogeneities are due to random fluctuations. The odd behavior shown by the 330 deg velocity components is probably caused by a greater frequency of high but variegated values in a lane which is parallel to the 240-60 deg direction.
