The Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detects many point sources within 10^\circ$ of the Galactic Plane at longitudes 60^\circ < l <125^\circ$. Analysis has been done using maximum likelihood and a model of the diffuse galactic emission (Hunter et al. this conference). A catalog for this region of the sky is presented which includes information on energy spectra, time variability, and positions and position uncertainties. Potential identifications of some sources are discussed.
