  The quasar Q0353-383 has long been known to have extremely strong nitrogen
intercombination lines at 1486 and 1750 Angstroms, implying an anomalously high
nitrogen abundance of ~15 times solar. A search for similar nitrogen-rich
quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey First Data Release catalog has yielded
20 candidates, including four with nitrogen emission as strong or stronger than
that seen in Q0353-383. Our results indicate that only about 1 in 1700 of
quasars have nitrogen abundances similar to Q0353-383, while up to 1 in 130 may
be in the process of extreme nitrogen enrichment.
