Description:
    This paper presents a list of 158 candidate emission-line objects
    detected with the northern HK interference-filter/objective-prism
    survey obtained with the Burrell Schmidt telescope. The objects have
    magnitudes in the range 11=<B=<15.5, several magnitudes fainter
    than obtained with prism surveys of similar resolution.
    (The HK filter restricts the passband to the region around the
    H and K lines of Ca II)
