Search for globular clusters in M31. I. The disk and the minor axis.

This paper reports on a search for globular clusters far out from the center of M31 performed using plates of 29 fields around M31 covering the galaxy's disk and minor axis. A total of 355 globular clusters are found in M31, of which 124 are previously unknown, 183 are already listed elsewhere, and 48 are accepted on the basis of their appearance on various plates. The positions (epoch 1950) of the clusters are given, and results of two other similar searches are briefly discussed. The total number of halo clusters in M31 is estimated to be 195 + or - 25.
