Results are reported for a third season of photoelectric observations of objects regarded as possible star clusters in the Andromeda Nebula. During 1976, U, B, V measurements of 43 objects were made with the 2.6-m Shain reflector of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. Altogether 100 objects have been observed in 1974--1976. Their position in the two-color U--B, B--V diagram suggests that the objects investigated are dissimilar in nature. Among them are clusters analogous to old globular clusters in the Galaxy, while others resemble the young ''blue'' and intermediate-age ''red'' clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. Some of the objects observed probably are actually distant background galaxies.
