Let [n, k, d; q]-codes be linear codes of length n, dimension k and minimum Hamming distance d over GF(q), Let d(5)(n, k) be the maximum possible minimum Hamming distance of a linear [n, k, d; 5]-code for given values of n and k. In this paper, forty four new linear codes over GF(5) are constructed and a table of d5 (n, k) k less than or equal to 8, n less than or equal to 100 is presented.
