$^a$ Column (1) gives the sample; (2)~the filter; (3)~the resolved/total number of objects in the sample; 
(4) the average redshift of the sample; (5)~the absolute $B$-band magnitude 
of the quasar, and (6) and (7) the 
average $H$-band nuclear and host galaxy absolute magnitude of the sample.
\\$^b$ R~= resolved; U~= unresolved.
\\$^c$ Transformation of magnitudes to $H$-band assumes $V-H=3.0$, $R-H=2.5$, 
$H-K=0.2$, and $J-H=0.9$ for the hosts and $H-K=1$ for the nucleus.
