  The Galactic kinematics of Mira variables have been studied using infrared
photometry, radial velocities, and Hipparcos parallaxes and proper motions. For
Miras in the period range 145 to 200 days (probably corresponding to [Fe/H] in
the range -0.8 to -1.3) the major axes of the stellar orbits are concentrated
in the first quadrant of Galactic longitude. This is interpreted as a
continuation of the bar-like structure of the Galactic Bulge out to the solar
circle and beyond.
