Note (1): 1927-A : alternative identification is 14" SE of galaxy marked.
          2306-A : Galaxy is at plate limit and does not reproduce well
                    in the glossy.
Note (2): If the column is blank, the galaxy listed is an alternate
           identification for the last radio source with a flux density
           listed about it.
