Abstract:
   Positions and magnitudes are given for 488 quasar candidates, 14 compact 
   emission-line galaxies, and eight white dwarf candidates discovered with 
   Canada-France-Hawaii blue grens in a 7.5 square degree area in the 
   directions 1338 + 27 and 1639 + 40. The goal of this survey is to enlarge 
   the areas previously surveyed in these regions to provide magnitude-limited
   samples of quasars for the study of the luminosity function and large scale
   distribution of quasars at moderate to high redshifts. Redshifts are given 
   for seven of the new quasars, including one BAL quasar.

Note: The explanations for last three columns are not clear in the
      present paper, and those found in Crampton et al. 1985 (AJ, 90, 987)
      p994 are adopted.
