Abstract
When the V/Vm test is appropriately applied to a recently-published list of bright QSO's the result is closely consistent with the local hypothesis of the nature of QSO's. When an appropriate plot of these QSO's is made in a redshift-magnitude diagram there is no evidence of the density of points increasing reciprocally with flux, as it must do according to the cosmological theory. This new data, therefore, confirms the disproof of the cosmological theory given in Cardiff Preprint No. 88.
