The presence of three clusters of galaxies at a region between l = 217 and 230 deg and b = 2 and 7 deg was proposed by Saito et al. (1990) based on their search for galaxies on the UK Schmidt Infrared Atlas. We have confirmed the existence of the clusters by an analysis of the distribution of the cataloged galaxies on the sky as well as a redshift survey of galaxies in this region. We have found that the three clusters form a supercluster (named Monoceros supercluster) at a distance of about 100/h Mpc, and that it is one of the richest superclusters in the Local Universe. The supercluster seems to be associated with neighboring clustering features of galaxies recently detected by others and form a large-scale density peak at around SGZ about 100/h Mpc.
