An improved mass-luminosity relation for faint main-sequence stars derived from recently revised masses for some faint double stars is presented. The total local mass density is increased to nearly 0.2 solar masses per cu pc. This estimate is as large as the mass density required by Oort's (1965) dynamical analysis of stellar motions perpendicular to the galactic plane if the mass is concentrated in a narrow layer.
At least ten of the known UV Ceti-type flare stars in the solar neighborhood have old disk space motions. Five others have large space motions and are probably also members of the old disk population. The existence of flare stars with old disk space motions and also the existence of some flare stars below the main sequence complicates the picture of these stars as a premain-sequence evolutionary stage.
