Table 1:

Number in the total sample of candidates, number of observed candidates, and number of accepted candidates after removal of emission line objects, ``peculiar'' objects (e.g., objects with continuous spectra) and all stars with a G-band index  Å. In the last column, we list the scaling factors applied to the [Fe/H] histograms for each candidate class during the construction of the MDF (see Sect. 4).
