Abstract
Oke, Greenstein, and Gunn (1966) called the GO star BD + 17° 4708 a field horizontal-branch star. They determined its effective temperature to be 6000° K, and its surface gravity as log g = 3.0. In his study of field horizontal-branch stars, Newell (1969) found + 17° 4708 to be the reddest such star, and it occupied a critical position in his plot of 0_e vs. log g, serving to separate more clearly the groups he calls disk horizontal-branch and halo horizontal-branch stars. It is the purpose ofthis note to indicate that + 17° 4708 is a G subdwarf, possibly slightly evolved, rather than a field horizontal-branch star.
