Remarks and Modifications:
The De Veny Kitt Peak Quasar Catalogue (J. B. De Veny, W. H. Osborn
and K. Janes 1971PASP...83..611D 1971PASP...83..611D) source list with position has been
made machine-readable by Dr. G. Share (Naval Research Laboratory).
The information given in this document has been obtained via private
communication from Dr. Share. No effort has been expended to verify
the contents and Dr. Share bears the responsibility for any
keypunching errors. The original data file had a column marked X-ray
data with zero values throughout and a blank notes field. These were
removed for the current update. The data were checked against the
publication list of source names and a flag for the original de Veny
et al. sources was added. The origin of the other sources is from
Share.
