                                   ABSTRACT

    Proper motions and photographic photometry have been derived for nearly
    600 stars with 7.5 < V < 15.5 in the region of the very young open
    clusters Tr 14, Tr 16, and Cr 232 based on 26 plates dating from 1893
    to 1990.  Cluster membership probabilities have been derived from the
    proper motions and color-magnitude diagrams of probable members of each
    cluster are presented.  In contrast to a few of the previous studies we
    find all three clusters to lie at the same distance.
