Within the framework of our survey of carbon stars (C stars) in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (Azzopardi and Westerlund, 1984, The Messenger 36, 12), the Carina galaxy was observed on November 2, 1983 at La Silla. A very good quality 2-hourexposure plate was obtained at the prime focus of the 3.6 m telescope, using the triplet corrector, the Hoag Grism R35 and a GG435 filter (see Breysacher and Lequeux, 1983, The Messenger 33,21). The GG435 filter, in combination with the IIIa-J emulsion in order to reduce the instrumental spectral domain to the useful range 4350-5300 A, allows one to reduce the crowding. The plate was searched systematically using a binocular microscope with small magnification. This allowed us to identify 6 out of the 7 C stars listed by Mould et al. (1982, Astrophysical Journal 254, 500) plus 4 new candidates and one dubious (Azzopardi, Lequeux and Westerlund, 1984, ESO preprint No. 345).
