Abstract

A new catalogue of 125 galactic SNRs is presented. A surface brightness-diameter relationship, corrected for variation in height I z I above the galactic plane, is derived and applied to the catalogue to yield I z I-corrected distances and diameters. A birth rate of about one every 30 or 40 years is indicated from the number-diameter diagram.
