The peak in the distribution of apparent magnitude (V) of QSOs at 18.0 can be explained by loss of QSOs for V less than or equal to 18.0 arising out of selection effects due to the availability of search lines necessary for the determination of redshifts and due to the misidentification of QSOs as Main-Sequence stars. For V greater than 18.0, the number of objects seems to fall off as they become progressively fainter and detection efficiency goes down. The present analysis also shows that a strong correlation exists between apparent magnitude and redshift of QSOs, indicating that redshifts are of cosmological origin.
