Intense radio sources at 1400 MHz. 11. Additions to the BDFL sample

Sixteen sources with 1.4-0Hz integrated flux densities greater than 1.7 Jy and Ib >5' have been added to the 424 in the BDFL catalog (Paper I) between declinations -5' and +70', on the evidence of new 1.4-0Hz observations at the NRAO 300-ft telescope. The BDFL "complete sample" of sources with S lA >2.00 Jy in the region of sky between declinations -5' and 70' at Ib 1>20' has consequently been slightly revised. Five new sources have been added and two sources deleted. The revised BDFL "complete" sample of 237 sources (Table V of this paper) is estimated to be 99:1:1% complete. Data on the additional sources are given in Table II of this paper, which also presents new data on 14 sources from the BDFL catalog. All sources with 1.4-0Hz flux densities greater than 1.5 Jy in the Ohio 40' 3' survey at jb I>5' have now been observed at the 300-ft telescope, and the flux-density accuracy of this survey is assessed.
