Abstract:
    Initial results from the analysis of the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer
    (EUVE) all-sky survey (58-740A) and deep survey (67-364A) are
    presented through the EUVE Bright Source List (BSL). The BSL contains
    356 confirmed extreme ultraviolet (EUV) point sources with supporting
    information, including positions, observed EUV count rates, and the
    identification of possible optical counterparts. One-hundred
    twenty-six sources have been detected longward of 200A.

Note (1): Lex, AlC, Dag, Tin, DSL, DSA: Count rate fields are in units of
          counts/kilosecond.
Note (2): The note flags for the count rate fields are as follows:
          *   Count rate derived from the calibration observation
          **  Count rate from Patterer et al, 1993, ApJ, 414, L57
Note (3): 'CSPN' indicates the central star of a planetary nebula,
          'XRB' an X-ray binary system, and
          'LMXB' a low mass X-ray binary.
Note (4): Individual coded notes, separated by commas, as follows:
  A  Source verified using only the skymaps.
  B  Calibration target.
  C  Serendipitous source observed during a calibration pointing.
  D  Private communication from:

  F  Three stars, including a white dwarf, are very likely optical
     counterparts (J. Dupuis, private communication).
  G  DS count rates, accurate to 50%, are provided by J. Vallerga.
  H  A and B stars probably detected as a "UV leak" by EUVE but reported
     as extreme ultraviolet sources in the ROSAT Bright Source Catalog.
  I  Optical ID confirmed via:
       1. High signal-to-noise optical spectra by D. Finley;
       2. Photometry or spectroscopy by M. Dopita.
  J  The DS count rate includes the flare occurring during the observation.
