We present a further list of 274 bright QSOs, 106 (195) of which have
(17.5), selected
semiautomatically from objective prism plates taken with the Calar Alto
80 cm Schmidt telescope. All QSOs have been confirmed by follow-up
spectroscopy and we display their flux-calibrated spectra. We also
discuss the completeness of our search technique and demonstrate that
for 
and
we have been able to recover
roughly 85% of known QSOs; 10% were lost due to overlaps
while 5% were lost during the selection process.
In particular the bright 
QSOs (17 with )
are potential
targets for follow-up spectroscopy both at high-resolution from
the ground and in the ultraviolet from space.
