Abstract:
    To increase completeness of the distance limited sample of nearby
    galaxies from the Kraan-Korteweg & Tammann (1979AN....300..181K)
    catalogue we undertook a search for small companions of larger known
    galaxies which have corrected radial velocities with in 500km/s. Based
    primarely on the POSS-II and ESO/SERC films we found 260 nearby dwarf
    galaxy candidates with angular diameters a>0.5arcmin. More than 50% of
    the objects were revealed for the first time. As we suppose, a
    significant part of them (about 30%) may really belong to the Local
    Volume sample.
