Abstract We use the QSO's in the catalog compiled by Hewitt and Burbidge (1980) as the sample to analyse for the selection effects in the redshift identification. The results show that the redshift distribution caused mainly by the selection effects has almost same global feature as those given by the observations. The analysis leads us to conclude that the observational redshift distribution of QSO's should be heavily affected by these selection effects, and that attention should be paid to them in the investigations of the redshift distribution, the origion of redshift, and the evolutionary properties of QSO's.
