Type II quasars are the long-sought luminous analogs of type II (narrowemission line) Seyfert galaxies, suggested by unification models of activegalactic nuclei (AGN) and postulated to account for an appreciable fraction ofthe cosmic hard X-ray background. We present a sample of 291 type II AGN atredshifts 0.3
