A survey of the Milky Way southward of the Palomar Sky Survey for the identification of reflection nebulae was carried out at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Plates in blue light were obtained at the Curtis Schmidt telescope covering a strip of plus or minus six degrees of the galactic equator. Red sensitive plates for comparison were also obtained with the same telescope covering the same area near the galactic plane. Observatory staff members and some students of the University of Toronto, Canada assisted in identifying stars embedded in nebulosity as shown by the plates. Although this catalogue roughly complements the Catalogue of Reflection Nebulae of van den Berg (1966AJ.....71..990V, Cat. ), the region here surveyed is more narrowly confined to the galactic equator.
