  The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey uses a 13-element receiver operating at a
wavelength of 20 cm to survey the inner Galactic plane with remarkable
sensitivity. To date we have collected and analyzed data from 45% of the survey
region (|b| < 5 deg.; 260 deg. < l < 50 deg.), and have discovered 440 pulsars,
in addition to re-detecting 190 previously known ones. Most of the newly
discovered pulsars are at great distances, as inferred from a median dispersion
measure (DM) of 400 pc/cm^3.
