We present the results of analysis of “snapshot” spectra (i.e., R=20,000 and S/N=50 per pixel) of 253 metal-poor halo stars $-3.8<$[Fe/H]$<-1.5$ obtained in the HERES survey. The spectra are analysed using an automated line profile analysis method based on the Spectroscopy Made Easy (SME) codes of Valenti & Piskunov (1996). Elemental abundances of moderate precision (absolute r.m.s. errors of order 0.25 dex) have been obtained for 22 elements, C, Mg, Al, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, and Eu, where detectable. The results are presented and discussed, particularly trends and scatter in the abundance distributions.
