  We have used the publicly available data from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey
and the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey to test the hypothesis that there is a
periodicity in the redshift distribution of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) found
projected close to foreground galaxies. These data provide by far the largest
and most homogeneous sample for such a study, yielding 1647 QSO-galaxy pairs.
There is no evidence for a periodicity at the predicted frequency in log(1+z),
or at any other frequency.
