Abstract:
    We present a list of 218 additional candidate emission-line objects
    discovered with the northern and southern HK interference-filter/
    objective-prism survey of Beers and collaborators. The objects have
    apparent magnitudes in the range 10<=B<=16, several magnitudes
    fainter than obtained with previous prism surveys of similar
    resolution. Of the new candidates, 73 have been previously identified.
    The total list of HK-survey emission-line candidates now numbers 376
    objects, 104 of which were noted by previous surveys.

Note on Comment:
  Description of the nature of the detected emission are in three
  broad groups: weak (wk), moderate (mod), and strong (str),
  corresponding to the strength of the emission feature relative to the
  surrounding continuum.  Spectra with emission apparent in the cores
  of the Ca II H and K absorption features are noted as "core"
  emission objects.  Spectra with variable emission lines, which means
  the strength of the emission appeared to vary across the 90-minute
  exposure, are noted as "var". Balmer emission refers to emission
  lines detected at the location of the H-8 Balmer line, which is just
  visible at the blue edge of the spectra, and occasionally, for
  exceptionally strong emission, even in the Halpha line, which is
  redward of the nominal filter cutoff. Objects with emission which
  did not appear to fall at the location of the Ca II HK features, or
  Balmer features are noted as "others."
