Description:
   In this paper we present short H I synthesis observations of 57
   galaxies without H I information in the RC3. These are a
   by-product of a large survey with the WSRT of the neutral hydrogen gas
   in spiral and irregular galaxies. Global profiles and related
   quantities are given for the 42 detected galaxies and upper limits for
   the remaining 15. A number of galaxies have  low values of
   H I  mass-to-blue luminosity ratio.

Note (1):
  a. (UGC 1034) Possibly also HI emission at the edge of the spectral band.
  b. (UGC 2067) The observed global profile is possibly that of the companion
      UGC 2065, a face-on Smb. galaxy at 2.5 arcmin from UGC 2067.
  c. W_20_ has been determined for four galaxies: UGC 3165: 141 (+/-5) km/s;
     UGC 4825: 319(+/-8)km/s; UGC 7329: 236(+/-17)km/s; UGC 11466: 251(+/-7)km/s
  d. (UGC 4271) Arp 9.
  e. (UGC 9852) Arp 90.
