A survey on the POSS of the northern galactic plane has led to the detection of 207 galaxies, 200 of them new. Six may possibly be identified with listed radio sources. Infrared photographs were taken of two galaxies, one lying 1.6 deg distant from the Maffei objects, the other in the vicinity of the Rosette nebula; for the latter a radio flux density of 11 mJy was found at 6 cm. The galaxies are not uniformly distributed: there is a strong preponderance towards the galactic anticenter where the objects tend to lie above the galactic equator. Since each galaxy implies a relatively transparent region, investigations of galactic structure may be fruitful in the areas of these galactic windows.
