  The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is a new objective-prism
survey for extragalactic emission-line objects. It combines many of the
features of previous slitless spectroscopic surveys with the advantages of
modern CCD detectors, and is the first purely digital objective-prism survey
for emission-line galaxies. Here we present the first list of emission-line
galaxy candidates selected from our red spectral data, which cover the spectral
range 6400 to 7200 Angstroms. In most cases, the detected emission line is
H-alpha. The current survey list covers a one-degree-wide strip located at Dec
(1950) = 29.5 degrees and spanning the RA range 12h 15m to 17h 0m. An area of
62.2 sq. degrees is covered. A total of 1128 candidate emission-line objects
have been selected for inclusion in the survey list (18.1 per sq. degree). We
tabulate accurate coordinates and photometry for each source, as well as
estimates of the redshift and emission-line flux and equivalent width based on
measurements of the digital objective-prism spectra. The properties of the KISS
emission-line galaxies are examined using the available observational data.
