Notes.

(a)

In four cases EW([OIII]) were used, see the text and Table 2;

(b)

The HDS class (Ng = 44) is formed of HDSr and HDSb galaxies, and an additional galaxy with strong Hδ absorption, which can be classified as neither HDSr nor HDSb;

(c)

The ELG class (Ng = 168) is formed of mELG, sELG, and vsELG. Throughout the paper we use PASs, HDSrs, HDSbs, and w/m/s/vsELGs to refer to the respective member galaxies.
