Distances have been determined for 436 OB-type stars in Carina. A sharp outside edge is found to the OB star distribution with respect to the center of the Galaxy. The layer of OB stars follows the galactic plane to distances of the order of 3 kpc, but at distances greater than 4 kpc it appears to bend away from the plane to negative latitudes by 2° or 3° out to distances of the order of 10 kpc.
