Identification of southern radio sources - III.

Identifications are suggested for 53 radio sources from the southern zones of the Parkes 2700-MHz survey, 32 with galaxies, 11 with suggested QSOs, and 10 with confirmed QSOs. The identifications were made from quick blue survey plates, deep survey plates, and Palomar Sky Survey prints. Accurate optical positions have been measured for four of the new identifications and for two previously suggested identifications. A further nine previously suggested QSO identifications have also been confirmed by two-color photography or spectroscopy.
