Results are presented of the last contribution to the Model Comparison Phase (MCP) of the Basle Halo Program. In this work, RGU photometric total (photometric population I + II) space density histograms are determined for late-type giants and 1-mag-interval main-sequence M(G) groups (M/G/ between 3 mag and 8 mag) along the direction to NGC 4147, using the Fenkart et al. (1987) Basle method, and are compared to the gradients predicted by the standard set of five multicomponent models of the MCP. Results yield evidence for the existence of a Thick Disk component in the galactic density distribution.
