OBSERVATIONS have been made at Jodrell Bank of the linear polarization of ninety-one radio sources at a frequency of 610 MHz (λ 49.1 cm). The sources have flux densities greater than 5 flux units (with the exception of VRO 42.22.01), and have galactic latitudes greater than 10°. In order to discriminate against the (partially polarized) background radiation of the Galaxy, the observations were taken using two radio telescopes-the 250 foot Mark I and the 125 foot Mark II-as an interferometer. The method has already been described1,2 and a fuller description of these observations is in preparation. Here we report a striking correlation between the degree of linear polarization at λ 49 cm and the spectral index of the twenty-three quasars included in the observations.
