Caption: Figure 7.

Plot of absorber rest equivalent width vs. SDSS galaxy redshift, for the list of absorbers. Symbols are the same as in Figure  6. The dashed vertical line separates absorbers with z ⩾ 0.01. This redshift separator was chosen as a guide to separate absorbers due to Galactic sightlines and Virgo Cluster galaxies from "true" extragalactic systems, based on the outer boundary to the Virgo Cluster (Binggeli et al. 1993).
