Abstract
The sixth list of the Calan-Tololo Survey is presented. It contains in formation for 100 new southern quasars. The objects have a B magnitude in the range 16 less than or equal to B < 20; for 81 objects 17.5 les s than or equal to B < 19. The redshifts z of these quasars are such t hat for 53 objects 1.8 less than or equal to z < 2.4, for 20 objects 2 .4 less than or equal to z < 3.4 and for 27 quasars z < 1.8. These qua sars were found at Cerro Calan, searching objective prism plates taken at Cerro Tololo using the Curtis-Schmidt telescope, the thin UV prism and IIIaJ plates. Identification charts, equatorial coordinates, an e stimated blue magnitude, B, and a preliminary redshift for every objec t are presented. All quasars in this list have been confirmed using sl it spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data shall be presented elsewhere ( Maza 1995).
