Abstract:
    As the fourth part in a series of papers on galaxies in the "zone of
    avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present a compilation of 1067
    galaxies discovered during a systematic search on Palomar Observatory
    Sky Survey I (POSSI) red-sensitive prints. The region searched
    comprises 500 square degrees, at 130{deg}<=l<=180{deg},
    -5{deg}<=b<=+5{deg}. In addition to galactic and equatorial
    coordinates, we list maximum and minimum optical diameters derived
    from both the red- and blue-sensitive prints and made cross checks
    with the IRAS PSC catalogue. An asymmetric distribution of the
    galaxies with respect to the galactic equator is found and is compared
    to the locations of optically visible dust clouds and/or the
    distribution of IR-emitting dust material. There is a pronounced
    bridge of galaxies across the galactic plane at l=~160{deg} which will
    be discussed according to recent results on the extension of the
    Pisces-Perseus supercluster.
