We are engaged in a long term study of the stellar component in the nuclear bulge of the Galaxy. Regions of low obscuration at different galactic latitudes above the galactic nucleus are surveyed for M giants with a transmission grating and thin prism at the prime focus of the CTIO 4-m reflector. Photographic and infrared photometry are obtained for samples of the stars found. Spectroscopic observations are used to investigate band strengths and radial velocities.
