Description:
Nearly 500 radio continuum sources near the Galactic plane at
declinations greater than -37 degrees were examined for radio
recombination line emission to see if they might be HII regions. A
total of 462 were detected, about half of these for the first time.
The data are presented in an extensive table. Among the newly
discovered nebulae are several with recombinations lines so narrow
that their electron temperature must be less than 4600 K. In one case
the line width (in several transitions) is only 11.6 km/s, requiring
electron temperatures less than about 2900 K.

Note on Notes:
Mainly gives name of optical counterpart to radio source. Also
identifies sources observed at bands other than or in addition to 3
cm. If an H II region has been detected in several bands, the most
accurate measurement is listed and the others just noted. Letter "D"
refers to sources that show two recombination lines at distinctly
different velocities. "Note" indicates that there are additonnal notes
in main reference.
