Abstract
We present the spectra and redshifts of 62 quasars, from observations made with the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 4-m Blanco Telescop e. These quasars form part of a total sample of 118 (with 56 having been pu blished previously), which is being used for analysis of structure in the e arly universe. Quasars of particular interest are noted, including eight br oad absorption line (BAL) quasars and two quasars with unusual emission spe ctra. Finally, we include a short, summary of the present status of the lar ge quasar group (LQG) that was discovered by Clowes & Campusano from the ea rlier observations. The quasars are from an area similar to 25.3 deg(2) of ESO/SERC field 927, which is centred at (1950) 10(h)40(m)00(s), 05 degrees 00'00 ".
