The abundance of the elements in clouds of halo gas, as determined from observations, is an important parameter for the test of the validity of models explaining the existence of, e.g., the high latitutude high-velocity clouds (HVCs) of the Milky Way. Individual HVCs have been detected in absorption only on very few lines of sight so that the distance of the HVCs, another important parameter for the models, stays ill determined as well. We will follow here the more or less established convention by calling HVCs those with /v/ >100 km s−1 and IVCs (intermediate-velocity clouds) those with 50 </v/ <100 km s−1. We will define halo as the space with /z/> 1 kpc, although for /b/> 45 also /z/> 0.5 kpc is used.
