Reich et al. (1990a, Paper I) have presented the Effelsberg 21 cm radio continuum survey
of the Galactic plane for longitudes between l = 357
and
l = 95
5 and latitudes
. Here we complement these
maps for the Galactic plane region towards the anticentre direction
up to l = 240. The latitude extent is slightly enlarged for
some regions to b = +5.
The area from 
, has been previously surveyed for continuum radiation
at 21 cm wavelength
with the 100-m telescope by Kallas & Reich (1980). This survey,
which is based on observations carried out
between 1974 and 1978, is of significantly lower
sensitivity if compared with the 21 cm radio continuum maps presented in
Paper I
and therefore has been reobserved to get
maps of equal sensitivity along the entire Galactic plane.
