... Summarizing the results of the Hamburg/SAO survey presented in Papers I through V, we discovered altogether from the 1-st priority candidates 433 new emission-line objects (25 of them are QSOs), and for 85 known ELGs we got quantitative data for their emission lines. ... To estimate the total number of BCGs in the HSS zone we should count new BCGs expected from the remaining candidates and those selected in the HSS, but not observed by us since they already were known from other surveys. ...
