Scientific paper

The Anglo-Australian Telescope has been used to carry out follow-up spectroscopy of a couple of hundred eye-selected quasar candidates originally found from 1000 A/mm slitless spectra in five fields. In the present paper, the positions of 33 confirmed quasars, their redshifts, and some of their characteristics are given. Three emission-line galaxies and three white dwarfs have also been found. The profiles of Ly-alpha in the quasars can be grouped in two classes: those that have both a prominent narrow and a broad component, and those in which the broad component dominates. The majority of the Ly-alpha profiles have a dominant broad component, while the converse applies to the brighter quasar sample in Foltz et al. (1987).
