  We report the results of a millimeter interferometric survey of compact 3 mm
continuum sources in the inner 5.5'x5.5' region of the Serpens core. We detect
32 discrete sources above 4.0 mJy/beam, 21 of which are new detections at
millimeter wavelengths. By comparing our data with published infrared surveys,
we estimate that 26 sources are probably protostellar condensations and derive
their mass assuming optically thin thermal emission from dust grains. The mass
spectrum of the clumps, dN/dM~M^(-2.1), is consistent with the stellar initial
mass function, supporting the idea that the stellar masses in young clusters
are determined by the fragmentation of turbulent cloud cores.
