Scientific paper

Neutral hydrogen and optical parameters are presented for 151 galaxies of low surface brightness selected from UK Schmidt plates. The 21-cm H I line was detected in 100 of these systems. It is found that the galaxies show the same trends of global properties with type as samples of bright galaxies, while the data are consistent with the low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies being of systematically lower mass than bright galaxies of the same type and linear dimensions. A constant value of hydrogen mass/(linear dimension)/squared is strongly suggested for LSB and bright galaxies.
