[en] Spectroscopic observations are presented for 11 quasar candidates, as well as 19 quasars with uncertain redshift, three BL Lac candidates, and 11 objects located within a few arcsec of a quasar. The spectra indicate than nine of the 11 quasar candidates are stars, while the remaining two are low-redshift galaxies. The individual objects studied and commented on include KPNO 1, CFHT 2, Q 0010+023, UM 232, UM 473, WEE 124, UM 644, PKS 1514+197, MC3 1639+155, and WEE 185.
