$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=6.5cm,clip]{7813fig1.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 1: Stellar density (normalized to a maximum of unity) as a function of galactic latitude for $l=240^\circ$ and source distance at 5.0, 7.3 and 8.5 kpc respectively, according to the L06 Galactic model (with $\phi _W=+5^\circ$ ), or the L06 model with $\phi _W=+15^\circ$ (as derived by M06). This figure shows that intercepting the disc at symmetric latitudes with respect to the local mid-warp, one still obtains stellar densities with different profiles.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[height=4cm,width=6.5cm,clip]{7813fig2.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 2: The fraction of stars (normalized to give an area of unity) as a function of (m-M) for $(l,b)=(241.5^\circ ,-7.5^\circ )$ predicted by the L06 warp-model (assuming zero extinction along the line of sight). The short-dashed line is obtained with a modified L06 model with $\phi _W=15^\circ$ .

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[height=4cm,width=7.3cm,clip]{7813fig3.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 3: A $1^{\circ }$ Besançon simulation along the CMa centre line of sight showing the expected thin and thick Galactic disc metallicities. The dashed histogram (main sequence thin disc stars) has been normalized to that of the thick disc.
