  By combining photometry from the 2MASS Point Source Catalog and the USNO-B1.0
Catalog with optical and infrared spectroscopy, I have performed a search for
young brown dwarfs in an area of 225 deg^2 encompassing all of the Taurus
star-forming region (1 Myr). From this work, I have discovered 22 new members
of Taurus, five of which were independently found by Guieu and coworkers.
Sixteen of these new members have spectral types later than M6 and thus are
likely to be brown dwarfs according to the theoretical evolutionary models of
Chabrier and Baraffe. After adding these new members to the previously known
members of Taurus, I have compared the spatial distributions of stars and brown
dwarfs across the entire region. I find no statistically significant difference
between these two distributions. Taurus does not contain the large, extended
population of brown dwarfs that has been predicted by some embryo ejection
models for the formation of brown dwarfs. However, these results are consistent
with other ejection models, as well as models in which stars and brown dwarfs
share a common formation mechanism.
