From a recent paper by Lara et al. (2001), however, it was noted that three genuine candidate sources were missed after a first selection round from WENSS (B1838+658, B1919+741, B0603+612). The source B1838+658 has a redshift of 0.23 (NED) and is as such a GRG; for B1919+741 the redshift is 0.194 and for B0603+612 it is 0.227 (Lara et al. 2001). Also, the source B1855+310 was not further observed. Further, high resolution observations by Lara et al. show that some sources, whose size was estimated to be less than $5\hbox {$^\prime $ }$ on basis of the WENSS maps, actually have angular sizes and should thus be included in our candidate sample. The implication of these findings is that the earlier made claim that we have observed a complete flux-density limited sample of GRGs (Paper II, Schoenmakers et al. 2000b), must be recalled.
