An area of about 1.5 deg x 2.0 deg, centered on l=45.5 deg and b=0.0 deg, was mapped in the (C-12)O line at intervals of one beamwidth. A total of 22 individual CO cloud complexes was identified; the brightest of these is associated with a massive H I cloud and the H II region complex G45.5+0.1. This object most likely represents a small OB star cluster in its early stages of development. All other H II regions in the area mapped are likewise associated with CO maxima. The survey results indicate a structure of the Sagittarius arm generally in agreement with that derived in earlier studies; they also indicate that the Galaxy as a whole contains of the order of 3500 molecular clouds larger than 10 pc in diameter.
