The major and minor axes of 188 galaxies have been measured. The sample comprises all those with known velocities that could be properly identified on the Palomar Sky Survey in Page's (1975) and Turner's (1976) samples, but excluding known optical pairs. For these 94 pairs, the angle between the major axis of each galaxy and the line joining their centers was also measured along with the sense of spiraling, when possible. The data were averaged with a novel technique, and the resulting axis ratios agree very well with those of de Vaucouleurs and de Vaucouleurs (1964), and of Nilson (1973, 1974), where available. All these data, including standard deviations and corrections for underestimation of the minor axis, are presented with a summary of separations, magnitudes, velocities, and types (on a two-valued scale).
