Abstract:
    A total of 33 polar ring galaxies and polar ring galaxy candidates
    were observed in the 21-cm HI line with the 64-m Parkes radio
    telescope. The objects, selected by their optical morphology, are all
    south of declination -39{deg} and in only 5 of them had been reported
    previously. HI 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 first time in HI, of which 5 did not have previously
    known redshifts.

Note (1): Type of polar-ring galaxy:
           K: Kinematically-determined polar-ring galaxies
           G: Good candidates for polar-ring galaxies
           P: Possible candidates for polar-ring galaxies
Note (2): Note on PRC designation:
           A-NN: kinematically-determined Polar-Ring Galaxies
           B-NN: good candidates for Polar-Ring Galaxies
           C-NN: possible candidates for Polar-Ring Galaxies

Note (3): Most optical data are mean, corrected values from the LEDA database
Note (4): Notes:
          A : denotes an uncertain value.
          A ) denotes that data are literature values, from NED
Note (5): The line detected towards PRC C-14 seems due to nearby ESO 246-G22;
           (VHI, W50, IHI and rms)
Note (6): When two values of the rms noise level of the spectrum, the first
           refers to the ~-1000 to 12000km/s velocity range and the second to
           the ~8500 to 21500km/s range
Note (7): Notes on logMHI:
           c: confused
           m: marginal
