Abstract:
    We present optical spectra of 403 stars and quasi-stellar objects in
    order to obtain distance limits towards intermediate- and
    high-velocity clouds (IHVCs), including new Fibre-fed Extended Range
    Optical Spectrograph (FEROS) observations plus archival ELODIE, FEROS,
    High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HIRES) and Ultraviolet and
    Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) data.

Description:
    We use a combination of new observations and data from various
    astronomical archives. The FEROS observations were taken on the 
    nights of 2006 December 8 and 9.
