Abstract
THE identification of southern hemisphere radio sources is in progress at the Yale University Observatory. The first epoch plates of the Yale–Columbia programme for determining the proper motion of southern stars have been examined for identifications, and I have already reported forty-one suggested identifications1, discussing the method and techniques in detail. In this communication I wish to point out that two radio sources, PKS 0320-37 and 1302-49, usually identified with the galaxies NGC 1316 and NGC 4945, may instead be quasi-stellar sources in the direction of those galaxies.
