Using a model-atmosphere analysis, we have determined chemical abundances in 21 red giants of the galactic halo. Nine new field stars from Bond's recent objective-prism survey, along with the well-known halo giant HD 122563, were analyzed on new high-dispersion spectrograms obtained at Palomar, Mount Wilson, and Cerro Tololo. Five giants in the globular cluster M13, three in M3, and three additional field stars were also analyzed using previously published equivalent-widths, providing a total sample of 21 halo giants analyzed in a homogeneous manner.
