Abstract

The 259 Tololo quasar candidates are compared with positions of 62 bright galaxies. The number of close quasar-galaxy pairs predicted from a random distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the number actually found. Quasar-quasar pairs also agree with the number expected by chance. Suggestions are made as to why the results do not confirm the seemingly high frequency of quasar-galaxy pairs reported, primarily by Arp.
