We present the results of a neutral hydrogen survey conducted with the 100-m radiotelescope at Effelsberg of 44 northern objects in the polar-ring galaxy atlas of Whitmore et al. (1990AJ....100.1489W). These observations were performed to complement the Green Bank observations of polar-ring galaxies (Paper I, 1994AJ....107...99R). We detected 29 of these above our detection limit of a few mJy. The relative content of neutral hydrogen (M_HI_/L_B_) of the early-type galaxies (E, S0) in this sample is significantly higher than for galaxies of the same morphological types from comparison samples, i.e. for elliptical galaxies M_HI_/L_B_=0.17+/-0.09 and for S0 galaxies M_HI_/L_B_=0.75+/-0.13 which is about 6 times the mean value from the comparison samples for the same morphological types.
