The list of new galaxies with UV-excess published by Kazarian (1979a) and Kazarian & Kazarian (1982) contains 580 objects exhibiting large variety of morphological (Kazarian et al. 1981; Egiazarian 1983; Tamazian 1987) and spectral (Kazarian 1979a,b; Kazarian et al. 1981; Kazarian 1987; Kazarian & Kazarian 1987; Kazarian & Tamazian 1993) properties.
More than 80% of galaxies show strong emission lines of Balmer series and well known forbidden lines of [OII], [OIII], [NII], [SII] etc. This is usualy observed in Markarian galaxies (Weedman & Khachikian 1969; Arakelian et al. 1972) as well as in other galaxies showing unusual excess of UV radiation - blue Haro galaxies (du Puy 1970), ultraviolet-excess galaxies from Kiso survey (Takase & Miyauchi-Isobe 1984). This implies significant gas amounts excited by unusually high relative number of hot O, B stars in vast majority of objects included in above mentioned lists.
UBV-photometric study of some galaxies from Kazarian list (Tamazian 1983; Tamazian 1984; Kazarian & Tamazian 1984) shows from their colors distribution that they are similar to non-Seyfert Markarian galaxies (Huchra 1977) and tend to be bluer when approaching their central parts. Some galaxies from Kazarian lists have been observed occasionally in different radio wavelengths with different instruments but no systematic study of these galaxies has been done before.
Only very few number of galaxies has been
observed at 21-cm:
for example, KAZ 546 (Paturel, unpublished),
neutral hydrogen study of Haro galaxies
(Bottinelli et al.
1973a), Markarian (Bottinelli et al. 1973b, 1975)
and Kiso UV-excess galaxies (Maehara et al. 1988), also
using the Nançay radiotelescope. These studies allow to obtain
valuable information on astrophysical parameters of these galaxies:
systemic radial velocity, amplitude of internal rotation, HI gas
content.
There are various families of galaxies among Kazarian lists (elliptical and lenticular galaxies with emission lines and strong UV-excess; blue dwarfs, possibly metal deficient; giant starburst galaxies with high infrared luminosity) which can be selected as best candidates to have measurable HI flux. Thus, HI observations of these galaxies is interesting both to determine important astrophysical parameters and to compare their properties with those of galaxies from other lists.
For technical reasons we selected among Kazarian's lists those galaxies
having radial velocities smaller than 
(known from
different sources listed in Table 1).
