The Palomar Green survey (Green et al., 1986) of faint blue, high galactic-latitude objects, turned up several interesting new classes of objects, such as gravitational lenses (Weyman et al., 1980), the ultra hot star H1504+65 (Nousek et al., 1986), and the PG 1159-035 variables (McGraw et al., 1979). The PG survey forms a mainstay in the investigations of late stages of stellar evolution. Work (Flemming et al., 1986) has already cast light on the important question of the space density of DA’s and continuing work is seeking values for similar population parameters for the subdwarfs: Evolutionary links between the subdwarf stage and white dwarfs will thereby be illuminated.
