The concepts of a local standard of rest and a standard solar motion and the nature of the data giving rise to these concepts are so much part of the given knowledge of galactic astronomy that it hardly seems possible that anything new might be learnt from continued study of this subject. But the examination of local stellar kinematics is by no means a tidy subject, and the history of its development does conceal one or two peculiarities which bear reconsideration.
