Many recent observations have indicated variations of metallicity within our Galaxy. Apart from a general negative radial abundance gradient indirect evidences suggest the existence of spatial chemical inhomo-geneities in different regions of the galactic disk. Since this problem is of great importance in providing clues to processes of nucleosynthesis and galactic structure and evolution, it seems to be interesting to examine if these spatial inhomogeneities have any systematic character and if they are correlated with position of spiral arms.
