1 In brackets we have reported the optical breakdown for the BSS sources with Right Ascension below 5$^{\rm h}$ or above 17$^{\rm h}$; 2 Note that 56 sources are in common between the BSS and HBSS samples; 3 We stress that some of the sources classified as "Optical Normal Galaxy'' could indeed host an optically elusive AGN (see e.g. Severgnini et al. 2003); 4 To our knowledge all but one (XBS J014100.6-675328) of the sources classified as stars are coronal emitters.
