We present a catalogue of dense cores in a $\sim 4^\circ\times2^\circ$ fieldof the Taurus star-forming region, inclusive of the L1495 cloud, derived fromHerschel SPIRE and PACS observations in the 70 $\mu$m, 160 $\mu$m, 250 $\mu$m,350 $\mu$m, and 500 $\mu$m continuum bands. Estimates of mean dust temperatureand total mass are derived using modified blackbody fits to the spectral energydistributions. We detect 525 starless cores of which $\sim10$-20% aregravitationally bound and therefore presumably prestellar. Our census ofunbound objects is $\sim85$% complete for $M>0.015\,M_\odot$ in low densityregions ($A_V\stackrel{<}{_\sim}5$ mag), while the bound (prestellar) subset is$\sim85$% complete for $M>0.1\,M_\odot$ overall. The prestellar core massfunction (CMF) is consistent with lognormal form, resembling the stellar systeminitial mass function, as has been reported previously. All of the inferredprestellar cores lie on filamentary structures whose column densities exceedthe expected threshold for filamentary collapse, in agreement with previousreports. Unlike the prestellar CMF, the unbound starless CMF is not lognormal,but instead is consistent with a power-law form below $0.3\,M_\odot$ and showsno evidence for a low-mass turnover. It resembles previously reported massdistributions for CO clumps at low masses ($M\stackrel{<}{_\sim}0.3\,M_\odot$).The volume density PDF, however, is accurately lognormal except at highdensities. It is consistent with the effects of self-gravity on magnetizedsupersonic turbulence. The only significant deviation from lognormality is ahigh-density tail which can be attributed unambiguously to prestellar cores.
