Abstract
A total of 33 polar ring galaxies and polar ring galaxy candidates were observed in the 21-cm line with the 64-m Parkes radio telescope. The objects, selected by their optical morphology, are all south of declination -39 and in only 5 of them had been reported previously. line emission was detected towards 18 objects, though in 3 cases the detection may be confused by another galaxy in the telescope beam, and one is a marginal detection. Eight objects were detected for the first time in , of which 5 did not have previously known redshifts.

Key words: galaxies: distances and redshifts -- galaxies: general -- galaxies: ISM -- radio lines: galaxies

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
