Abstract
De Vaucouleurs and Peters1, Kerr and Sullivan2 and I3 derived the solar motion with respect to the high velocity HI clouds (HVCs) with a view to examining the suggestion by Verschuur4 that these cloud complexes and the Local Group of galaxies form part of the same extragalactic system of objects. They concluded that the solar motion solution does not seem to justify Verschuur's hypothesis. Kerr and Sullivan2 also derived the solar motion with respect to a sample of 125 intermediate velocity clouds (IVCs) and concluded that they seem to be kinematically distinct from the HVCs.
