Green and Schmidt (Green 1976, and in preparation) have optically surveyed some 10000 square degrees of the northern sky to search for bright quasars. Their final sample contains about 100 quasars. The B magnitudes of the sample range from 13.1 to 16.5, with most in the range 15.0–16.2. The redshifts range from 0.03 to over 2, considerably concentrated toward smaller values (median of 0.18).
