A catalogue of lSI radio sources is presented covering the declination zone +4� to +25� and all right ascensions, omitting two regions within approximately 10� of the galactic plane (R.A. 05h30'" to 07ho()m and R.A. lShOO'" to 2Oh30"'). The catalogue was compiled from a 'fast' finding survey at 2700 MHz aimed at detecting sources stronger than o� 5 Jy. Subsequently, measurements of accurate flux density and position were made on all the sources which were not in the Parkes 40S MHz catalogue and on a few sources in the 40S MHz catalogue for which only data of low accuracy were available. The' positions of sources were determined to an accuracy of 10" arc r.m.s. in both coordinates. Flux densities for most of the sources were also measured at 5009 MHz. Identifications are suggested for 17 galaxies and 62 quasi-stellar objects.

The results of a survey of radio sources in the galactic plane in the longitude range 1800 to 400 with the 1 mile Molonglo Cross telescope at 408 MHz are presented. The methods of observation and reduction are described briefly. The catalogue lists the position, flux density, size, and spectral index for 80 sources

Compact Sources

Compact radio stars are associated with both galaxies and quasi-stellar objects; and there appears to be no way to distinguish between the radio galaxies and the quasi-stellar radio sources from their radio properties alone.The compact radio sources are opaque at the longer radio wavelengths and have spectra that are either peaked or complex. They have a complex brightness distribution and often contain components less than 0.001 arc sec in size.Many of the compact sources show large intensity variations and in NGC 1275 there is evidence for a change in the angular size during one year.

Clarke, Bolton, and Shimmins (1966) have recently suggested identifications for 138 of the radio sources listed in the Parkes catalogue for declinations 0� to +20� (Day, Shimmins, Ekers, and Cole 1966). The identifications were made from inspection of the Palomar Sky Survey plates in areas 2' arc square centred on the catalogue positions. In general, identifications were suggested only for galaxies or possible quasi-stellar objects brighter than 17m . 5, in order to avoid the possibility of chance coincidences. Where objects fainter than 17m . 5 were suggested, position data of higher accuracy were available, due principally to unpublished measurements by Shimmins, Clarke, and Ekers with the 210 ft telescope.

Optical Identifications

Accurate positions have been measured at 2700 MHz for 255 sources from the Parkes catalogue between declinations +20� and -33�. The estimated accuracy in both coordinates is approximately 15N arc. For 103 of the sources, identifications are suggested using the accurate positions. Sixty-two of the sources are identified with galaxies and 41 with quasi-stellar objects.

Brightness distributions and flux densities at 8�8 GHz are presented for 12 small-diameter radio sources near the galactic plane. Each of these sources has been classified at one time or another as a supernova remnant. For one source, G295� 2 - 0�6, the flux density at 8�8 GHz confirms the thermal spectrum suggested by lower frequency measurements and indicates that it is not a supernova remnant. Another source, G309� 6+ 1�7, is thought to be extragalactic.

Optical Identifications

Identifications are suggested for 59 radio sources from the resurvey of declination zone �4�, 27 with galaxies and 32 with stellar objects; 19 of the latter are confirmed as quasi-stellar objects (QSOs). The identifications were made from the Palomar Sky Survey prints plus supplementary plates taken with the Palomar and U.K. Schmidt telescopes and the Anglo-Australian 3�9 m telescope.

The polarizations of 45 sources have been measured at 6 cm wavelength and have been compared with values obtained at longer wavelengths. The resulting wavelength dependence has been studied in relation to the spectra of the sources. For the quasi. stellar objects in particular, polarization features at short wave� lengths are associated with the young components of the source which radiate at high frequency. However, it is not possible to distinguish between radio galaxies and quasi-stellar objects solely on the basis of polarization data.

This paper is about how I met John Bolton and includes some highlights of the four years I took compiling my Ph.D. at the Parkes Observatory. It is strongly linked to the discovery of quasars (quasi-stellar radio sources) and QSOs (quasi-stellar objects, not necessarily radio sources)-John being dedicated to discovering quasars and I to discovering QSOs. I hope my perception of John Bolton as a person comes through as it seems I was fortunate in meeting him at a time when, according to some, he had mellowed!

A catalogue of 885 radio sources is presented, covering right ascensions lOb to 15b and 19b to 07b between declinations -35� and -45�. The catalogue is believed to be complete to 0�22 f.u. at 2700 MHz (940 sources per steradian) and the positions are accurate to �15N arc in both coordinates for sources stronger than 0�3 f.u. Flux densities at 5009 MHz have been measured for 350 of the strong sources. Eighty-eight of the sources have been identified with galaxies and 39 have been identified and confirmed as quasi-stellar objects.
