The spectroscopic identification of the Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) sources now provides ∼350 X-ray selected QSOs and Seyfert galaxies (AGN in our working definition) and 30 BL Lac objects. Almost all of the AGN are spectroscopically similar to AGN found by other means but a few resemble normal galaxies so closely that they would not be identified as AGN easily by any other method.
