Abstract
We carried out a complete search for IRAS galaxies in the Taurus molec ular cloud region at l=169 degrees to 177 degrees and b = -19 degrees to -12 degrees We selected a total number of 36 galaxies and galaxy ca ndidates and looked for the 21- cm H I line in 25 objects; we detected H I emission in five of them including one with previously unknown re dshift. The spatial density of IRAS galaxies with cz =4000 to 6000 km s(-1) is lower in this region than in the adjacent regions at both sid es along galactic longitude, where the Perseus supercluster and the Ge mini-Monoceros filament are respectively located.
