The identification of discrete radio sources with optically observed celestial objects continues to be one of the most difficult and challenging tasks for the optical astronomer. Baade and Minkowski [1, 2] have done admirable work on the subject for the northern hemisphere and for the sections of the southern hemisphere accessible from the latitudes of Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories. The zone south of declination −40 degrees, however, has not been studied to any great extent. As a part of our collaborative program of research with the C.S.I.R.O. Radiophysics Laboratory in Sydney, several members of the Mount Stromlo Observatory staff have initiated studies for the identification of sources with declinations south of −40 degrees.
