Abstract
We have observed 69 unresolved X-ray sources and seven diffuse or confused source regions in M31 with the Einstein Observatory. The typical limiting sensitivies in the 0.5--4.5 keV band were 9 x 10/sup 36/ ergs s/sup -1/. There are 21 sources in a compact inner bulge, seven globular clusters, 40 sources we categorize as Population I, and i sources near globular clusters but with position errors large enough so that four chance coincidences would be expected. The Population I tracers. Luminosity distributions of these classes are given. The nucleus of M31 is coincident with a 10/sup 38/ ergs s/sup -1/ X-ray source at approximately the 90% confidence level.
