We prove that there exist skew type Hadamard matrices of order 4n for n = 67, 113, 127, 157, 163, 181 and 241 which have not been constructed so far. In particular there exists a Hadamard matrix of order 4 · 163, which was unknown until now. We mention that very recently we have constructed skew type Hadamard matrices of orders 4n for n = 37 and 43.
