Abstract

Analysis of gaps in the emission line redshift distribution of 537 QSOs shows a single definite trend in the distribution of the gaps. The trend is similar for radio-quiet objects, radio sources and all QSO's taken together. However, the trend does not suggest any periodicity in redshifts in any of the three cases.
