We present the chemical compositions of four K giants (CS 22877‐1, CS 22166‐16, CS 22169‐35, and BS 16085−0050) that have [Fe/H] in the range −2.4 to −3.1. Metal‐poor stars with [Fe/H ]< -2.5 are known to exhibit considerable star‐to‐star variations of many elements. This quartet confirms this conclusion. CS 22877‐1 and CS 22166‐16 are carbon‐rich. There is significant spread of [α/Fe] within our samples, where [α/Fe] is computed from the mean of the [Mg/Fe] and [Ca/Fe] ratios. BS 16085−0050 is remarkably α‐enriched with a mean [α/Fe] of +0.7, but CS 22169‐35 is α‐poor. The aluminum abundance also shows a significant variation over the sample. A parallel and unsuccessful search among high‐velocity late‐type stars for metal‐poor stars is described.
