Dr. Pawsey has asked me to make some general remarks on the problem of confusion when the traces of adjacent radio sources overlap. This is a question that affects all surveys in which the observations are limited by resolving power and not by sensitivity; there is perhaps some misunderstanding about the relative performance of interferometers and pencil-beam systems of similar sizes, and there seems to be an impression that the former are more seriously affected than the latter.
