Abstract

Several groups have been successful in the survey of high-redshift (z > 4) quasars. For example, Schneider et al. (1994) and Schmidt et al. (1995) were successful in detecting 90 quasars with 2.75 < z < 4.75, R < 21 for 62deg2 using Palomar Transit Grism. Among them, there are 9 quasars with z > 4.0. Storrie-Lombardi et al. (1996) were detected 31 quasars with z > 4.0, mT < 19 for 2500deg2 by APM photographic multicolor survey using UK Schmidt telescope. Survey observations of quasars up to now have to select one of the following conditions; wide field surveys using photographic Schmidt plate which cover large areas but do not go faint enough, or deep surveys using large telescopes which go faint magnitude but which cover relatively small areas.
