The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite can measure diffuse spectra from 170 to 760 Angstroms with a spectral resolution from 17 to 35 Angstroms. EUVE has completed a sensitive all-sky survey in four bandpasses across the EUV. During this time the Deep Survey/Spectrometer instrument was slowly scanning the ecliptic plane by pointing in the anti-sun direction. We present spectra accumulated along a path from galactic coordinates of l = 23.9(deg) , b = -27.7(deg) to l = 44.1(deg) , b = -46.9(deg) . The ISM can produce a significant flux in this band if there is enough emission measure in the temperature range from 10(5) K to 10(7) K. No interstellar spectral features were detected, but stringent and astrophysically important lower limits to the emission measure have been determined by folding plasma codes through the spectra. This work has been supported by NASA contract NAS5-30180.
