In an earlier paper by Sanduleak et al. (1978) a listing was given of 102 confirmed and probable planetary nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud detected on objective-prism plates taken with the Curtis Schmidt telescope at Cerro Tololo. Subsequently, deeper coverage was obtained on nitrogen-baked Kodak IIIa-J plates plus GG 455 filter exposed for 90 minutes. The thin prism was again used to provide a dispersion of about 1500 Å mm−1 at Hβ and the spectra were unwidened. An additional 25 planetary nebula candidates were found on this new plate material to show the requisite characteristics, i.e. they display (a) a stellar appearance, (b) [OIII] λλ5007, 4959 strongly in emission, and (c) no evidence of a continuum.
