Abstract:
    It is proposed that Peculiar Ring Galaxies can be divided into five
    principal types according to the morphology of the ring and bulge,
    based on the visual inspection of 489 selected object. Those objects
    have been named "peculiar" following the "Catalogue of Southern
    Peculiar Galaxies and Associations" by Arp & Madore (1986,
    Cat.  <VII/170>).
