Notes. This table combines many of the parameters given in Tables 2 and 3 presented by Ragan et al. (2014) and includes a few similar structures reported in the literature. We identify structures that are coincident with filaments reported in this paper by appending a to the literature name in Col. 1. The prefix of CF on the source name of the Wang et al. (2015) sample of filaments corresponds to cold filament. We have omitted the following four filaments that appear in the sample presented by Wang et al. (2015): CFG026.38+0.79 is the dense part of the larger structure GMF 26.725.4 identified by Ragan et al. (2014) and is therefore not considered to be an independent entity; CFG064.270.42 is located outside the region of interest for this study; CFG011.110.12 and CFG338.470.43 are part of the Snake and Nessie filament for which more detailed studies are available.
