We have conducted a systematic search for high proper motion stars in the Digitized Sky Survey, in the area of the sky north of -2.8 degrees in declination and within 25 degrees of the galactic plane. Using the SUPERBLINK software, a powerful automated blink comparator developed by us, we have identified 601 stars in the magnitude range 92.0\arcsec/yr), and 5 were missed because they were either too bright for SUPERBLINK to handle or they are in the immediate proximity of very bright stars. Only one of Luyten's stars (LHS1657) could not be recovered at all, even by visual inspection of the POSS plates, and is now suspected to be bogus. The very high success rate in the recovery by SUPERBLINK of faint Luyten stars suggests that our new survey of high proper motion stars is at least 99 percent complete for stars with proper motions 0.5 to 2.0 arcsec/yr down to R=19. This paper includes a list of positions, proper motions, magnitudes, and finder charts for all the new high proper motion stars.
