Scientific paper

Stromgren uv by photometry is presented for 129 `faint blue' stars taken from various catalogues. The photometry is used to estimate photometric `classifications' for the stars, which indicate a mixture of hot subdwarfs, horizontal-branch stars, metal-weak subdwarfs and so on. Attention is drawn to stars (from this paper and previous papers in the series) which appear to be somewhat reddened. Some are probably binaries, and others might be objects with peculiar colours, such as cataclysmic variables. One star, LB 9963, almost certainly falls into the latter category. Two stars which, from their colours, are Population II A-F stars are variable; one of these, OM 89, is the known RR Lyrae star, VW Dor.
