This work is a supplement to our preparation catalogue for the Hipparcos Mission, and has been compiled in the same way. The catalogue's principal characteristic is its homogeneity, since it has been compiled from plates taken by one instrument, measured using one machine, by just two operators, reduced by one method, and with the results being submitted to identical criteria. Its aim is to define with precision the position of certain rapid stars at a known time. It also enables the proper motion of faint objects to be detected, so long as the proper motion is known, more accurately than from using the positions available up until now.

We would like to thank: the Paris-Meudon Observatory for letting us use copies of the plates taken by the ESO Blue Survey, and Mrs C. Turon, who has given us valuable advice and encouragement. This research work has made use of the Simbad database, operated at CDS, Strasbourg, France.
