Detailed abundance analysis of 41 F and G type dwarf stars located in the solar neighborhood are presented. The stellar sample was selected to have kinematics intermediate between the Galactic thin and thick discs. The stars have been observed with the NOT telescope at La Palma, Spain in March 2006 and the ESO 2.2 m telescope at La Silla, Chile between October 1, 2004 and March 31, 2005. Abundance
