SiO maser emission from the Bulge IRAS sources has been searched by the v=1, J=1−0 and v=2, J=1—0 transitions to investigate the kinematics of the Galactic Bulge, resulting in a sample of 124 line-of-sight velocities. The rotation velocity, velocity dispersion, and velocity offset at l = 0° for the sample are found to be , and —18.2±9.7 km s−1, respectively (80% confidence interval). Furthermore we find trends for the rotation velocity and velocity dispersion to decrease with distance from the galactic plane. These trends are supported by a larger sample constructed by incorporating other available velocity data on the Bulge IRAS sources. The rotation velocity and velocity dispersion are expressed as 15.6—1.23x|b(deg)| km s−1 deg−1 and 101−3.6x |b(deg)| km s−1, respectively. The implications of the observed quantities are discussed.
