The stellar field centred close to the h and χ Per double cluster is one of the 123 fields recorded in the galactic plane at 2000 Å by the balloon-borne stratospheric gondola of the SCAP-2000 programme. The analysis of the frame allows to determine an ultraviolet colour index U1 - V for more than 600 stars. Among these are stars belonging to the h and χ Per and Tr 2 clusters and to the PER OB1 association. The prevailing extinction law is found to produce greater extinction at 1965 Å than predicted by the mean extinction law. Moreover, the clouds responsible for the extinction are situated in the local arm and distributed in two layers with a very transparent interval.
