This paper examines a subset of objects from the USNO-B1 catalogue with listed proper motions between 1.0 and 5.0 arcseconds per year. We look at the degree of contamination within this range of proper motions, and point out the major sources of spurious high proper motion objects. Roughly 0.1% of the objects in the USNO-B1 catalogue with listed motions between 1.0 and 5.0 arcseconds per year are real. Comparison with the revised version of Luyten's Half Second catalogue indicates that USNO-B1 is only about 47% complete for stars in this range. Preliminary studies indicate that there may be a dip in completeness in USNO-B1 for objects with motions near 0.1 arcseconds per year. We also present two new stars with motions between 1.0 and 5.0 arcseconds per year, 36 new stars with confirmed motions between 0.1 and 1.0 arcseconds per year, several new common proper motion pairs, and the recovery of LHS237a (VBs3).
