A crucial test of any cosmological model is the distribution of distant objects such as quasars .
Because of well defined selection criteria quasars found by a ultraviolet excess ( UVX ) survey are ideal candidates for testing the model out to a redshift of z = 2.2 .
The static cosmology proposed by Crawford ( 1993 ) is used to analyse a recent quasar survey ( ( ( Boyle et al .
1990 ) ) ) .
It is shown that the distribution of number of quasars from the survey as a function of redshift is in excellent agreement with the predictions of the model .
A V / V _ { m } test on 351 confirmed quasars with defined redshifts has a mean value of 0.568 \pm 0.015 with the discrepancy being most likely due to incompleteness of the catalogue at low redshifts .
For the redshift range 1.5 < z < 2.2 where the accuracy of the cosmological model is critical V / V _ { m } was 0.51 \pm 0.02 .
A well defined quasar luminosity function is derived that has a peak at M _ { B } = -21.16 mag and is well fitted by a Gaussian distribution in absolute magnitude with a standard deviation of 1.52 magnitudes .
