Abstract
To improve the census of the Local Volume galaxies, we carried out a system atic search for nearby dwarf galaxies in a declination range of D < -18<deg rees> based on the ESO/SERC film copies, hs a result, we present a list; of 81 nearby dwarf galaxy candidates of low surface brightness which have ang ular diameters greater than or similar to 0.'5. Half of the objects have be en found for the first time. This sample may be considered as supplementary to our list of 95 southern nearby dwarf galaxy candidates (A&AS, 1998, 127 , 409) which have been detected in the same declination range around the kn own Local Volume galaxies.
