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 f60>=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.
