Description:
    This paper presents HI observations of 165 dwarf galaxy candidates
    from the Karachentsev catalog of candidates for nearby dwarf galaxies
    prepared from film copies of POSSII and the ESO/SERC southern
    extension. Now a total of 601 galaxies from the published Karachentsev
    catalog have been searched for HI emission. Table 1 lists coordinates
    and general optical properties while Table 2 presents HI data and some
    global properties of these galaxies.
