In this paper we present the results of a redshift survey of IRAS galaxies behind the whole southern Milky Way region 210° < l < 360° at |b| < 15°. The galaxy candidates in the southern Milky Way were selected from IRAS Point Source Catalogue (IPSC) by applying flux density and infrared colour criteria (Strauss et al. 1990; Rowan-Robinson et al. 1991). The selected sample is flux limited with f60 > 0.6Jy. A visual search for galaxy-like objects have been carried out in UK-Schmidt Infrared and IIIaJ films in the selected IRAS positions. In spite of the large Galactic extinction in this region, 966 galaxy candidates have been identified (Yamada et al. 1993).
