Table 4: Properties of the halo C stars. Quantities l, b, R, $K_{\rm s}$ , $J-K_{\rm s}$ are repeated from Table 2 for information. The colour excess E(B-V) is taken from the maps of Schlegel et al. (1998), in magnitudes, with uncertainty of the order of 0.01 mag. The quantity $M_{K_{\rm s}}$ is the $K_{\rm s}$ -band absolute magnitude derived for each object, and is used to derive the distance to the Sun, d, in kpc. Uncertainties (1 $\sigma$ ) on $M_{K_{\rm s}}$ and d are $\sim$ 0.3 mag and 15%, respectively. Z is the height above or below the galactic plane, in kpc. The measured heliocentric velocity $v_{\rm helio}$ is in km s^-1, with uncertainty of the order of $\sim$ 10 km s^-1 (1 $\sigma$ ). The last column is the same as in Table 1.
