Spectroscopic observations for 1044 stars located primarily in the southern Galactic hemisphere are reported; the stars were chosen from a list of candidate metal-deficient stars discovered in the HK objective-prism survey. Radial velocities and line indices based on the equivalent widths of Ca II, K, H-gamma and H-delta, and the CH G band are reported. Estimates of metallicity for 874 stars with derived abundances less than -0.5 are presented.
