Description:
    The cross-correlation of a source list from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey
    with the Molonglo 408MHz survey (MRC) yields to a catalogue of 549
    sources. The majority of the objects are quasars and radio galaxies
    with known optical counterparts; more than one third of the objects
    are optically unidentified.
