A neutral hydrogen survey of polar ring galaxies - IV. Parkes observations

A total of 33 polar ring galaxies and polar ring galaxy candidates were observed in the 21-cm H i line with the 64-m Parkes radio telescope. The objects, selected by their optical morphology, are all south of declination {39 and in only 5o f them Hi had been reported previously. H i line emission was detected towards 18 objects, though in 3 cases the detection may be confused by another galaxy in the telescope beam, and one is a marginal detection. Eight objects were detected for the rst time in Hi ,o f which 5d id not have previously known redshifts.
