Description:
    Arcminute-resolution radio continuum images at 408 and 1420MHz from
    the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) have been used to construct
    a new catalogue of extended radio sources found near the Galactic
    plane in the second quadrant of our Galaxy. In addition
    cross-identifications are made with other major radio catalogues and
    information is provided to facilitate the recovery of CGPS image data
    associated with each catalogued source.
