This paper is dealing with the investigation of H‐alpha emission stars towards the galactic bulge. In this important region 533 H‐alpha emission stars have already been discovered. We add 98 new and 9 possible new (perhaps identical with known objects) H‐alpha emission stars found in the objective‐prism survey of planetary nebulae and we give the identification charts, the accurate coordinates as well as a rough description. The distribution in l, b of all objects shows the expected concentration towards the galactic equator with the maximum near l =0. and b =0. distorted probably due to strong interstellar extinction.
