Description:
    As the third  part in a series  of papers on galaxies  in the "zone of
    avoidance" (ZOA) of the  Milky Way  we present  a compilation  of 1161
    galaxies  discovered during a systematic search on Palomar Observatory
    Sky  Survey (POSS) red-sensitive prints. The region searched comprises
    200   square  degrees,  at  120deg<=l<=130deg,  -10deg<=b<=+10deg.  In
    addition  to galactic, equatorial and rectangular coordinates, we list
    maximum  and minimum optical diameters derived  from both the red- and
    blue-sensitive  prints, could assign  a morphological type  to some of
    the  objects and made cross-checks with the IRAS PSC and several radio
    catalogues. A test  for  completeness  suggests,  that  our  catalogue
    should be complete  down to  a limiting  galaxy-diameter of  0.35'. An
    asymmetric distribution  of the galaxies with  respect to the galactic
    equator  was found and is discussed by comparing it with the locations
    of  optically  visible   dust  clouds   and/or  the   distribution  of
    IR-emitting dust material.  A comparison  between the  distribution of
    the   galaxies  and  the  100{mu}  IRAS  intensity  maps  led  to  the
    identification of  four possible  clusterings. As  a byproduct  of our
    galaxy search, two  new  planetary  nebulae,  nebulous  stars  at  the
    position of a strong cold  IRAS  point  source,  and  a  nearby  dwarf
    irregular galaxy could be detected.
