I have already reported on the spectra of 31 radio sources [1], but since then, new observations have become available, and, in addition, I have corrected my own 38-Mc/s measurements for a nonlinearity in the response of my receiver. The qualitative picture remains the same, but from the more recent information I have found values for the spectral indices of 85 sources, and have revised some of those given previously. From the larger sample of sources now available, it is possible to suggest some relationships of sufficient interest to warrant further investigation.
