In the ESO Imaging Survey of a 1.27 square degree field in the direction of the south galactic pole (``patch B'') 32 point sources were identified as white dwarf candidates in the B-V vs. V-I two-color diagram by the EIS team and published as a candidate catalog. One of these was a previously known quasar. We have obtained low resolution spectra of 30 of the remaining sources. Of these only 6 are DA white dwarfs, one is a DQ white dwarf, one a DC. 11 candidates are quasars with redshifts between 1.4 and 3.3. The remaining sources are stars with narrow Balmer lines, in most cases probably field horizontal branch stars.
