				<abstract>
					<para>
    Spectroscopic observations for the full sample of H{alpha}
    emission-line galaxy candidates (ELGs) from the Universidad
    Complutense de Madrid objective-prism survey Lists 1 and 2 have been
    obtained in order to investigate fully the properties of the survey
    constituents as well as the selection characteristics and completeness
    limits of the survey itself. The spectroscopic data include redshifts,
    line fluxes, equivalent widths, emission-line ratios, optical
    reddening estimates and synthesized color indexes. We find that 74% of
    the objects in this sample do exhibit emission lines. We compare our
    observational data with parameters given in the published survey lists
    in order to assess the usefulness of the latter. The different
    emission-line galaxies have been classified according to their spectra
    in several groups. Gray-scale images of the CCD spectra near the main
    emission lines, spatial profiles at the continuum and the line for
    [OIII]{lambda}5007 and H{alpha} lines, as well as plots of the coadded
    spectra of selected galaxies are presented, and a number of peculiar
    objects are described.</para></abstract>
