We present the spectra and redshifts of 62 quasars, from observations made with the Cerro Tololo Inter‐American Observatory (CTIO) 4‐m Blanco Telescope. These quasars form part of a total sample of 118 (with 56 having been published previously), which is being used for analysis of structure in the early universe. Quasars of particular interest are noted, including eight broad absorption line (BAL) quasars and two quasars with unusual emission spectra. Finally, we include a short summary of the present status of the large quasar group (LQG) that was discovered by Clowes & Campusano from the earlier observations. The quasars are from an area∼25.3 deg 2 of ESO/SERC field 927, which is centred at (1950) 10 h 40 m 00 s , 05°00′00′′.
