Description:
    We present the third and final part of the research at 1410MHz for 213
    extragalactic objects from the Southern Hemisphere identified as Quasars
    by Veron-Cetty and Veron (1983A&AS...53..219V).
    The first (1988A&AS...76...21Q) and second (1990A&AS...83..393Q) parts
    contained measurement of the flux densities at 1410MHz for 473 sources.

Note (1): The data are from Molongo Catalogue by Large et al., 1981
     =1981MNRAS.194..693L (Catalog <VIII/16>)
Note (2): The data are from Parkes catalogue
Note (3): The redshifts published by Veron-Cetty & Veron (1983;
    see catalog <VII/54>) where included. These data were modified
    using 'A catalogue of Quasars and Active Nuclei (2nd Ed.)' (1985),
    'A catalogue of Quasars and Active Nuclei (3rd Ed.)', (1980),
    all of them by Veron-Cetty & Veron
Note (4): The absolute magnitudes were extracted from Veron-Cetty and
    Veron (1984, Scientific Rept. No1; 1985 Scientific Rept. No4; 1987,
    Scientific Rept.  No5 and 1989, Scientific Rept. No7)
Note (5): this flag is set when corrections have been detected by

Modification History:
  * The catalogue was keypunched at CDS in 1994, and first documented by
    Patricia Bauer
  * 18-Apr-1996: Errors reported by H. Andernach on 28 Feb. 1996
    have been applied. Some of these errors, not reported here,
    concern typo errors of the electronic version compared to the
    publication. The errors found in the original publication,
    flagged in the "ModFlag" column, concern the following sources:
      1826-782: RA and DE corrected (PKS B1826-782)
      1826-782: alpha2 corrected from -0.274 to -2.74
      1958-179: Vmag   corrected from  26.2  to  18.2
      2021-330: DE corrected (PKS B2021-330)
      2037-253: alpha1 sign
      2058-297: Source name corrected from 2056-297 to 2058-297
      2107-105: alpha1 sign
      2110-160: RA corrected (PKS B2110-160)
      2136-251: DE corrected (MRC B2136-251)
