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.

Parkes 2·7 and 5·0 GHz polarization maps have been combined to obtain distributions of magnetic field, Faraday rotation and depolarization for 20 supernova remnants.
