We present the observational results of UBV photometry and absolute proper motions in the anticentre direction at intermediate latitude (l = 167.5°, b = 47.4°) for an 8.6 square degree field. The sample is complete down to V = 17, and the accuracy of the proper motions is better than per century for stars brighter than V = 16. It is attempted here to make an investigation of the structure and kinematics of the Galaxy from absolute proper motions. Details of the present work can be found elsewhere (Ojha et al. 1993).
