The Curtis Schmidt telescope at the Cerro Tololo Observatory has been used for a two-color survey of reflection nebulae in the Southern Milky Way. Major concentrations of reflection nebulae are found in Carina and in the zone 250° < lII < 270°. A conspicuous gap in the distribution of reflection nebulae occurs at lII ≃ 275°. A detailed photometric and spectroscopic investigation of the stars imbedded in southern reflection nebulae is now in progress.
