As part of our radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures that surround the Galactic disc, we report the detection of the so-called Monoceros Ring in the foreground of the Carina dwarf galaxy at Galactic coordinates (l, b) = (260°, -22°) based on Very Large Telescope/Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph observations of the dwarf galaxy. At this location, 20° in longitude greater than previous detections, the Ring has a mean radial velocity of 145±5km/s and a velocity dispersion of only 17 ±5km/s. Based on Keck/Deep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph observations, we also determine that the Ring has a mean radial velocity of -75±4km/s in the foreground of the Andromeda galaxy at (l, b) ∼ (122°, -22°), along with a velocity dispersion of 26±3km/s. These two kinematic detections are both highly compatible with known characteristics of the structure and, along with previous detections, provide radial velocity values of the Ring over the 120° < l < 260° range. This should place strong constraints on numerical models of the accretion of the dwarf galaxy that is believed to be the progenitor of the Ring.
