We present the detection of 235 extreme ultraviolet sources, of which 169 are new detections, using the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer's ( EUVE ) Right Angle Program (RAP) data. This catalog includes observations since the first EUVE RAP catalog (1994 January) and covers 17% of the sky. The EUVE RAP uses the all-sky survey telescopes (also known as "scanners"), mounted at right angles to the Deep Survey and spectrometer instruments, to obtain photometric data in four wavelength bands centered at ∼100 Å (Lexan/B), ∼200 Å (Al/Ti/C), ∼400 Å (Ti/Sb/Al), and ∼550 Å (Sn/SiO). This allows the RAP to accumulate data serendipitously during pointed spectroscopic observations. The long exposure times possible with RAP observations provide much greater sensitivity than the all-sky survey. We present EUVE source count rates and probable source identifications from the available catalogs and literature. The source distribution is similar to previous extreme ultraviolet (EUV) catalogs with 2% early-type stars, 45% late-type stars, 8% white dwarfs, 6% extragalactic, 24% with no firm classification, and 15% with no optical identification. We also present 36 detections of early-type stars that are probably the result of non-EUV radiation. We have detected stellar flares from approximately 12 sources, including: EUVE J0008+208, M4 star G32-6 (EUVE J0016+198), a new source EUVE J0202+105, EUVE J0213+368, RS CVn V711 Tau (EUVE J0336+005), BY Draconis type variable V837 Tau (EUVE J0336+259), the new K5 binary EUVE J0725-004, EUVE J1147+050, EUVE J1148-374, EUVE J1334-083 (EQ Vir), EUVE J1438-432 (WT 486/487), EUVE J1808+297, and the M5.5e star G208-45 (EUVE J1953+444). We present sample light curves for the brighter sources.
