... Altogether among the objects of first priority in Papers I through IV, we discovered 321 new emission-line objects (20 of them QSOs), and for 55 known ELGs we got quantitative data for their emission lines. Preliminary classification of the 356 ELGs yields 275 ( 77 %) confident or probable blue compact/low-mass H II -galaxies. This large fraction demonstrates the high efficiency of this survey to find low-mass galaxies with H II -type spectra on the Hamburg Quasar Survey photoplates. ...
