As part of the programme of observations with the large Cambridge radio telescope, a survey of the integrated radio emission has been made using one of the four elements of the interferometer. At a wave-length of 3·7 metres this aerial has beam-widths to half-power points of 2° in right ascension and 15° in declination. The use of a long wave-length makes it possible to obtain accurate measurements of the brightness temperature of the sky in regions away from the galactic plane. It is with the radiation from these regions that this paper is primarily concerned.
