Abstract
An object prism survey of emission line galaxies was begun in 1981 at Beijing Observatory. This paper is the first one of the present survey, giving the first list of emission line objects detected. We used a 60 90 Schmidt telescope with a 5.3° objective prism and IIIa J emulsion, which proved to be an efficient instrument for isolating emission line galaxies. On a dozen plates covering some 220 square degrees of sky, 50 emission line objects were detected, 47 of which are galaxies and the other 3 are planetary nebulae. Their finding charts are given.
