Abstract:
    The results of the follow-up spectroscopy of 178 emission-line galaxy
    (ELG) candidates from the Case objective-prism survey and nine
    Markarian galaxies with the 6m telescope are described. Only the
    candidates classified in the Case survey as those with emission lines
    were observed with the aim to form a statistical sample of blue
    compact galaxies (BCGs) with strong emission lines in the zone
    RA: 8h-16h, and DE: =+29deg-+38deg. We present the redshifts,
    equivalent widths and flux ratios for the strongest lines and the
    spectrum type for most of the galaxies with detected emission lines. A
    significant fraction (about 23%) of the observed Case galaxies do not
    show emission lines in blue. Preliminary analysis of the data is
    presented and the properties of the observed ELGs are compared with
    those of other known samples.
