From radio continuum observations it is known that the central regions of galaxies can be an important source of cosmic rays, in particular relativistic electrons. In order to get some insight in the properties of the central sources and their dependence on optical properties, especially morphological type, a large sample of galaxies (~ 400) was observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at 1.4 GHz. The sample definitions, observations, reduction, survey characteristics and the analysis of the data are given in Hummel (1980, 1980a). Here we will concentrate on the results obtained for the central sources (> 20″).
