A new hydrogen line survey of M31 is described. A rotation curve of the galaxy is derived from these data. The northern half of the rotation curve can be traced to 27 kpc, the southern to 30 kpc. They are in general agreement; both sides show an extensive region of essentially constant rotational velocity.
