A blind survey for 6.7GHz methanol maser emission has been made with the 32 m Toruń radio telescope. The survey consists of 4,800 spectra on an equilateral triangular grid pattern with each grid point separated by 4.4 covering a field of ∼21 deg2 at galactic longitudes 20° to 40° and galactic latitudes ±0°52. The average sensitivity was 1.6 Jy and the spectral resolution was 0.04kms−1. A total of 99 sources were detected, 28 of which were not found during previous searches of IRAS-selected ultracompact HII regions. The peak flux density of new detections is usually lower than 30 Jy. About half of the methanol masers have no IRAS counterparts within a radius of 2. The nature of these sources is unclear.
