The following quantities are reported in each column:
Col.~1, object name; Cols.~2--5, emission line fluxes; 
Col.~6, gas metallicity.\\
Notes:
$^a$ In the case of the composite spectrum fluxes are normalized
to the H$\beta$ flux (which is also subject to an error as listed in the corresponding column).
