The Kinematic Properties of BHB and RR Lyrae stars towards the
  Anticentre and the North Galactic Pole: The Transition between the Inner and
  the Outer Halo
  We identify 51 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars, 12 possible BHB stars and
58 RR Lyrae stars in Anticentre fields. Their selection does not depend on
their kinematics. Light curves and ephemerides are given for 7 previously
unknown RR Lyrae stars. All but 4 of the RR Lyrae stars are of Oosterhoff type
I. Our selection criteria for BHB stars give results that agree with those used
by Smith et al. (2010) and Ruhland et al. (2011). We use 5 methods to determine
distances for the BHB stars and 3 methods for the RR Lyrae stars to get
distances on a uniform scale. Absolute proper motions (largely derived from the
GSCII and SDSS (DR7) databases) are given for these stars; radial velocities
are given for 31 of the BHB stars and 37 of the RR Lyrae stars. Combining these
data for BHB and RR Lyrae stars with those previously found in fields at the
North Galactic Pole, we find that retrograde orbits dominate for galactocentric
distances greater than 12.5 kpc. The majority of metal-poor stars in the solar
neighbourhood are known to be concentrated in a Lperp vs. Lz angular momentum
plot. We show that the ratio of the number of outliers to the number in the
main concentration increases with galactocentric distance. The location of
these outliers with Lperp and Lz shows that the halo BHB and RR Lyrae stars
have more retrograde orbits and a more spherical distribution with increasing
galactocentric distance. Six RR Lyrae stars are identified in the H99 group of
outliers; the small spread in their [Fe/H] suggests that they could have come
from a single globular cluster. Another group of outliers contains two pairs of
RR Lyrae stars; the stars in each pair have similar properties.
