Description:
    The table lists the heliocentric radial velocities for planetary
    nebulae in the direction of the Galactic bulge. The accuracy is
    about 2km/s. The measurements were made in June and July 1993, using
    the ESO CAT with spectral resolution of 30000-60000. Halpha,
    [NII] 6548 and 6584 and [O III] 5007 were observed.
