The study of large-scale structure through QSO clustering provides a potentially powerful route to determining the fundamental cosmological parameters of the Universe (see Croom & Shanks 1996). Unfortunately, previous QSO clustering studies have been limited by the relatively small sizes of homogeneous QSO catalogues that have been available. Although approximately 10,000 QSOs are now known (Veron-Cetty & Veron 1997), the largest catalogues suitable for clustering studies contain only 500–1000 QSOs (Boyle et al. 1990, Crampton et al. 1990, Hewett et al. 1994). Even combining all such suitable catalogues, the total number of QSOs which can be used for clustering studies is still only about 2000.

From five spectrograms obtained at five different positions in the nebula, relative ionic concentrations have been derived with respect to the nucleus. They show that the degree of excitation generally decreases with distance from the nucleus. But there are also areas with locally enhanced or attenuated excitation. Taurus data, a series of two-dimensional monochromatic images centered on (OIII) λ 5007, have been used to construct a two-dimensional velocity map. It shows a large-scale structure similar to the one of direct images with the biconical pattern being at least partly present. Areas of locally lower radial velocity which seem to be inversion symmetrically distributed with respect to the centre, are also distinguished. They do not have pronounced counterparts on direct images. The cavity model suggested by Barral et al. (1982, MNRAS 199, 95) for NGC 6302 and Icke's biconical flow model (1981, Ap. J. 247, 152) are discussed.
