Abstract
Spectral types, rotational velocities, and radial velocities were esti mated for eight Be and two nonemission B stars at high galactic latitu des from CCD spectra, and their distances from the galactic plane calc ulated. All of the objects appear to be spectroscopically normal; for the Be stars, at least, there is no reason to invoke an unusual origin for this sample of stars.
