Abstract:
    A low dispersion spectral survey (1250Å/mm near Hγ) made with
    the 70-cm meniscus telescope in the region 90°≤l≤115°,
    -5°≤b≤+5° has led to the discovery of 267 carbon stars, 146
    of which have been found for the first time. The distribution of the
    carbon stars in the investigated region with respect to latitude and
    longitude is uniform, and they have a Poisson surface distribution.
    The "nearest-neighbor" method shows that there is no excess of pairs
    of carbon stars or possible members of star clusters above their
    mathematical expectation.
