Abstract:
    This is the third and final paper (Yamada et al., 1993ApJS...89...57Y
    and Takata et al., Cat. <J/A+AS/104/529>) of our systematic visual
    search for IRAS galaxies behind the Milky Way at |b|<=15{deg}. This
    paper presents a catalog of 950 IRAS galaxies with 60{mu}m flux
    densities larger than 0.6Jy located between l=0{deg} and 150{deg}, of
    which 293 are newly identified by this search. We made a redshift
    survey for the identified galaxies and obtained new redshift data of
    171 galaxies. We also present newly measured redshifts of 27 IRAS
    galaxies between l=150{deg} and 225{deg} at |b|<=15{deg}. In this
    paper we studied the structure of the Local void using IRAS galaxies
    and galaxies from the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies
    (Cat. <VII/155>) in the region l=30{deg}-120{deg} and b=-50{deg} to
    +30{deg}. The center of the Local void turned out to be located at
    l~60{deg}, b~-15{deg}, and cz~2500km/s, and the size is about 2500km/s
    along the direction toward the center.
