Description:
    Spectra of the z_em_=3.268 quasar PKS 2126-158 have been obtained in
    the wavelength range 430-662nm with a resolution R=27000 and an
    average signal to noise ratio s/n=25 per resolution element. 12 metal
    absorption systems have been identified, two of which were previously
    unknown. All the lines shortward of the Lyman{alpha} emission not
    identified as due to metals have been fitted as Lyman{alpha} and
    Lyman{beta}. We reported statistical analysis of this sample of lines.
    In particular, the two-point correlation function for metal systems
    has been computed.
