| Abstract | We carried out a systematic search for nearby dwarf galaxies in the northern sky based on POSS-II film copies. As a result we present a list of 101 nearby dwarf galaxy candidates mainly of low surface brightness which have angular diameters a>~ 0farcm5 . About two thirds of the objects are new discoveries. This sample is considered as a supplement to the 163 northern dwarf galaxy candidates (A&AS, 1998, 127, 409) which have been detected in the same declination range around the known Local Volume galaxies and to the 78 dwarf galaxy candidates (A&AS, 1999, 135, 221) in the Local Void region. All the galaxies were observed in {H I with the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope with a detection rate of 46%. The sample of detected galaxies has the following median parameters: radial velocity V_LG = +770 km s-1, {H I line width W50 = 46 km s-1, absolute blue magnitude M_B = -13.8 mag, linear diameter A0 = 2.7 kpc, hydrogen mass-to-luminosity ratio M_HI/L_B = 1.2\ Msun/Lsun, and the HI mass-to-total mass ratio Mion {H i}/M_t=0.28.
