Measurements of the large-angular-scale anisotropy of the cosmic background radiation made from the northern hemisphere are in essential agreement with each other and indicate a first order spherical harmonic component with an amplitude of approximately 3 mK. New data from the southern hemisphere support these previous results. This first order anisotropy is interpreted as resulting from the motion of the solar system relative to the cosmic background radiation. There is no evidence of any higher order anisotropy to the level of 1 mK.
