Abstract
Using SEST, the Parkes antenna and the Australia Telescope Compact Arr ay, we have made a survey of the (CO)-C-12(1-0) and HI emission of an optically-selected sample of approximate to 60 southern interacting an d merging galaxies. In this paper we present the data and determine gl obal masses of neutral gas (in molecular and atomic form) for the obse rved galaxies. We have detected HI in 26 systems and found that these galaxies have less than 15% of their gas in molecular form.
