$^{{a}}$ Column (1) gives the sample; Col.~2: the filter; Col.~3: the number of objects in 
the sample; Col.~4: the average redshift of the sample; Cols.~5 and~6: the average 
$H$~band nuclear and host galaxy absolute magnitude of the sample; 
and Col.~7: the average $H$-band bulge scale length of the~sample.
