Measurements of the negative branch depth P(min) of the polarization phase curve for asteroids 55, 125, 201, 216, 259, 412, and 441 with the purpose of their classification by taxonomic types were carried out using the 1-m reflector. Six of them were attributed to M-type according to P(min) and published UBV colors. The total number of M-type asteroids together with the new radiometric data of Brown and Morrison (1984) is 24. According to these data the mean rotation period of M-type asteroids is 7.39 h confirming their faster rotation as compared with C- and S-type asteroids.
