A catalog, including finding charts, is presented which contains 282 faint stars of spectral type M3 and later, located in an area of 173 square degrees near the South Galactic Pole. The catalog is based on a spectroscopic survey undertaken with the Curtis Schmidt at CTIO and provides a finding list of M stars free of any possible kinematic bias. The majority of these stars are expected to be dwarfs. To the same limiting magnitude, the observed surface density is comparable to that of the faint M stars in the direction of the North Galactic Pole, named 273 over 190 square degrees.
