                                   ABSTRACT

        We present a catalog of radio sources discovered at a frequency of
     4850 MHz in the equatorial zone (-9.5 deg < Dec. < +10 deg) of the
     Parkes-MIT-NRAO (PMN) surveys.  The equatorial survey covers 1.90 sr
     and contains 11,774 sources to a flux limit of 40 mJy.  The survey was
     made using the Parkes 64 m radio telescope with the NRAO multibeam
     receiver during 1990.  This survey largely overlaps the 87GB survey in
     the declination range +1 deg to +10 deg.  The data-taking and
     principal reduction methods used for the PMN surveys have been
     extensively described in previous papers.  In this paper, we describe
     the specific details of the equatorial survey and we provide a list of
     sources.  Later papers in the series will describe the images made
     from, and provide analysis of, the data.
