Summary:ABSTRACT Using the HST archives, we have searched portions of the southern half and northwest quarter of the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31, NGC 224) for previously unrecognized star clusters. The result is a table of the characteristics of 71 newly identified star clusters. Most are moderately faint, low-mass clusters. Absolute magnitudes range from M(V) = -6.3 to -2.5.
