The connection between the arrival directions of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays by using the EAS array data and point galactic sources of radio-and gamma-radiations, pulsars,is sought. At the mean particle energy of 1019 eV the correlation between the particle arrival directions and pulsars located along the magnetic field lines has been found. According to our estimations the chance probability is equal to 2.10-4. The observed particle flux from 16 pulsars inside a circle of radius <6∘ exceeds the background by 6.3σ(p < 10-10), from PSR 2351+61 - 5σ. A group of 9 pulsars has been found from the direction of which the particle flux in the region 10∘×60∘ is in excess of the expected one by 4.4σ. The obtained results are discussed.
