Table 1: List of observed faint cool halo carbon stars. Coordinates $\alpha $ and $\delta $ (J2000) are given in the object names (2MASS Jhhmmss.ss$\pm $ddmmss.s). l, b are in degrees. The magnitudes B & R are from the USNO-A2.0 as given in the 2MASS catalogue, from the APM database (Irwin 2000) or from the USNO-B1.0 (Monet et al. 2003), with uncertainties of the order of 0.4 mag. The $J H K_{\rm s}$ values are from the 2MASS all-sky point source catalogue, with uncertainties of the order of 0.02-0.03 mag.

Notes: The last column (note) indicates whether the halo C star is a new discovery of this work or whether its C rich nature was already established in the literature (i.e. Gizis 2002; Liebert et al. 2000; Margon et al. 2002; TI98 = Totten & Irwin 1998; Christlieb et al. 2001).
