This contribution reviews two topics of current interest in the study of black hole demographics in active galaxies: Can the stellar velocity dispersions of quasar host galaxies be measured? And can we constrain the black hole mass function below 106 M$_\odot$?To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
