Since our original report of CO emission from outside the solar circle in the first quadrant (Kutner and Mead, 1981) we have extended the observations in two ways: (1) We have improved latitude and longitude coverage. Preliminary results on the latitude distribution were reported by Kutner (1983). (2) We have extended our cloud mapping, giving us at least partial CO maps of 55 clouds, along with 13CO, C18O, CO (2–1), and 2-mm H2CO observations of some clouds.
