Scientific paper

Surveys of the second quadrant of the Galaxy undertaken with the CfA 1.2-m telescope have been combined to produce a map of approximately 620 sq deg in the 2.6-mm CO (J = 1-0) line at high Galactic latitudes. CO was detected over about 13 percent of the region surveyed, an order of magnitude more gas by area than previously estimated. In contrast, only 26 percent of the area predicted by Desert et al. (1988) to contain molecular gas actually reveals CO, and about two-thirds of the clouds detected are not listed in their catalog of IR excess clouds.
