Scientific paper

UBV photoelectric measurements and spectral types (sometimes revised) are presented for 54 mostly-foreground high-radial-velocity stars near and between the SMC and LMC. The color-color diagram is shown to be very similar to that of Omega Cen. It is noted that four of the stars are subdwarves, 23 stars are submetallic or horizontal branch stars, one star is probably a member of the LMC, and the rest are population I stars of luminosity classes III-V. The density of high-velocity foreground stars towards the Magellanic Clouds appears to be about 20 times higher than in other directions of similar galactic latitude.
