Description:
We made a search for IRAS galaxies behind the Northern Milky Way by
infrared selection using IRAS Point Source Catalog and visual
inspection on POSS (Palomar Observatory Sky Survey) paper prints, and
carried out a redshift survey of the identified objects. This paper
presents a catalog of 649 IRAS galaxies with f_60_>=0.6Jy between
l=150deg and 240deg at |b|<=15deg, which contains 254 newly identified
galaxies and 188 newly measured radial velocities. Due to galactic
extinction, our sample is a lower limit sample of the flux limited
sample of IRAS galaxies, but it can give some information on the
distribution of galaxies in the region perpendicular to the
Supergalactic Plane. We confirm two regions with enhanced density at
l~160deg, cz~5000km/s and l~190deg, cz~5000km/s and at least two
possible voids.

If the redshift has been known before our measurement, the
heliocentric radial velocity and the reference are denoted in
parenthesis. When the galaxy has two or more catalog names, only the
first one is written in full name.
