Fifteen new candidates for optical counterparts of radio sources are reported. The total number of radio sources in the searched fields is 105, and they are between 0 and 10 hr 30 min in right ascension in the south celestial polar cap. Eight of the 15 objects are QSO candidates, increasing by almost a factor of three the number of previously suggested QSOs south of declination -75 deg. Seven are galaxies, nearly doubling the present number of galaxies which are suggested counterparts of radio sources south of -75 deg. One of the previously suggested QSOs selected on the basis of positional agreement shows an ultraviolet excess in this survey, hence it is confirmed as a QSO candidate.
