Quantitative determinations of the type and degree of peculiarity of nine Ap stars in the Ursa Major stream are made from high-resolution (9 A/mm) spectrograms. The rotational velocities v sin i are measured from the half-widths of the Mg II 4481 A line. By comparing the observed parameters of the hydrogen spectra of the stars and the parameters calculated from Kurucz's models, T(eff) and log g are determined. From data of UBV and ubvy, beta photometry for stars of the stream, a Mv, (B-V) color-magnitude diagram is constructed, with the help of which the ages of the stream stars are estimated: t = (4-5) x 10 to the 8th yr.
