As the fifth part in our series of papers on galaxies
in the
"zone of avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present
1346 new galaxy candidates discovered during a systematic search on Palomar
Observatory Sky Survey (POSSI-E) red-sensitive prints. The region
searched comprises
400 square degrees at 
, 
. We list
galactic and equatorial coordinates, maximum optical diameters and diameters of the
core, if visible, both
for the red- and blue-sensitive POSS prints.
An asymmetric distribution of the
galaxies with respect to the galactic equator is found and
can most probably be attributed to the galactic warp.
We also present radial velocities for 14 galaxies measured for the first time which
are located in the region where a
branch of the Pisces Perseus Supercluster is approaching the ZOA from the south
(

).
