A soft X-ray survey by means of thin-window proportional counters on board a spinning rocket covered a large celestial region with a width of about 60 deg in galactic latitude. In the galactic anticenter side the distribution of the soft X-ray intensity is rather smooth and shows a gradual increase with galactic latitude, whereas in the galactic center side the distribution is irregular and shows several enhanced regions. The overall distribution and the energy spectrum are accounted for in terms of a superposition of the following three components: an extragalactic hard component with a power-law spectrum as established at energies higher than 2 keV, a galactic soft component which has an exponential spectrum with an apparent temperature of about 0.18 keV, and an extragalactic component with a similar exponential spectrum.
