Radio observations at 610 MHz and optical plates were obtained for five fields centered on the unidentified X-ray sources 3U0042 + 32, 3U0917 + 63, 3U1443 + 43, 3U1555 + 27, and 3U1809 + 50. For the first three fields, several radio sources are found which are associated with stellar objects within or near the X-ray error boxes. A 'tailed' radio galaxy has been found in Abell 2142, and this cluster is suggested as the identification for 3U1555 + 27. Although there are no radio sources greater than 0.1 flux unit within the X-ray error boxes associated with 3U1809 + 50, a Zwicky cluster surrounding the 3U position contains two radio galaxies: one with an inverted spectrum and another with a wide-angle tail. A table of positions, intensities, and suggested optical identifications is given for the 249 radio sources detected in the five fields.
