We present a catalogue of 8746 faint blue stars selected from 49 regions near the South Galactic Pole taken with the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt camera.

The catalogue is divided into 3 parts: 1569 very definitely blue stars, where U-V = -0.4 or bluer; 2929 stars for which U-V is -0.2 or -0.3; and 4248 stars for which U-V is 0.0 or -0.1.
