A radio survey has been made of an area centered at 01h 03min +29°, using the Westerbork telescope at 1415MHz. The completeness limit of the survey is 7mJy. Additional observations have been made at 610MHz. The Lick 120" telescope has been used to obtain deep (O98-O2 emulsion) plates to serve as an optical counterpart. A catalogue is presented of 58 sources found in the survey. 53 of these comprise a complete sample. 31 sources of the complete sample lie in areas of which Lick plates were taken. Of the sources in Lick plates areas, 11 could be identified with galaxies and 3 with possible QSO's, yielding an identification percentage of 46. For the other 22 sources an identification programme was carried out using Palomar Sky Survey prints and other large 48" Schmidt plates: three of these sources could be identified with galaxies and two with possible QSO's. The survey was also used to derive source counts and a spectral index distribution. The source counts agree well with those derived for an earlier survey. The spectral index distribution has a mean of 0.52 and a width of 0.39. the explanation for the flatter spectra is not clear but might possibly lie in another source population that begins to dominate the results at low flux densities.
