The absorption lines in the spectra of high redshift quasi-stellar objects are investigated, and preliminary results on four quasars obtained using IPCS on the RGO Cassegrain spectrograph are presented. Autocorrelation peaks at L-alpha/L-beta and L-alpha/L-gamma in PKS 0805+046 and PKS 1442+101 indicate that the large number of absorption lines shortward of L-alpha in high redshift quasars are due to absorption by hydrogen clouds. The distribution of absorption lines and the correlation function of L-alpha/L-beta indicate that PKS 0528-250 may be an exception. Absorption redshift systems containing metallic lines may be produced by either matter ejected from the quasar, an associated galaxy cluster, or an intervening galaxy.
