The great nebula in Andromeda, M31, is a particularly interesting external galaxy, since it is a giant spiral system, presumably much like our own Galaxy, and is close enough to be resolved with existing radio telescopes. During parts of November 1962, and from December 5, 1962, to January 20, 1963, the 300-foot transit telescope of the N.R.A.O. at Green Bank, W. Va., was used in conjunction with the Carnegie multichannel H-line spectrograph to study M31. The following is a preliminary account of these first observations.
