The M31 outermost disk predominates (~85%) the total foreground (Milky Way+M31) selective extinction EB-V = 0.30+/-0.05 mag and the derived gas-to-dust ratio is N(H)/EB-V = (3.5+/-0.7)×10&lt;SUP&gt;20&lt;/SUP&gt; atcm&lt;SUP&gt;-2&lt;/SUP&gt; mag&lt;SUP&gt;-1&lt;/SUP&gt;.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
