Abstract
We present a catalog of optical identifications of a representative sa mple of northern (delta > -9 degrees) ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) sour ces. A full identification has been carried out for a count-rate- and area-limited complete RASS subsample comprising 674 sources. All sourc es are within six study areas outside the Galactic plane (\b\ > 19.deg rees 6), one area being near the north Galactic pole and one near the north ecliptic pole.
