Abstract:
    As the fifth part in our series of papers on galaxies in the "zone of
    avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present 1346 new galaxy
    candidates discovered during a systematic search on Palomar
    Observatory Sky Survey (POSSI-E) red-sensitive prints. The region
    searched comprises 400 square degrees at 90{deg}<=l<=110{deg},
    -10{deg}<=b<=+10{deg}. We list galactic and equatorial coordinates,
    maximum optical diameters and diameters of the core, if visible, both
    for the red- and blue-sensitive POSS prints. An asymmetric
    distribution of the galaxies with respect to the galactic equator is
    found and can most probably be attributed to the galactic warp. We
    also present radial velocities for 14 galaxies measured for the first
    time which are located in the region where a branch of the Pisces
    Perseus Supercluster is approaching the ZOA from the south
    (l=~90{deg}, b=~-10{deg}).
