We have presented here some results of our search for quasars near large galaxies. Papers on these results are to be published shortly in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (Mon. Not. R. astr. Soc.)

The aim of our programme is to use the absorption spectra of QSOs and related objects (BL Lacs, Seyfert galaxies) as probes of the interstellar media of intervening galaxies. For such a study it is necessary to find new suitably bright QSOs and related objects lying close on the sky to large galaxies because very few are known at present.
