The catalog of parameters of active nuclei of galaxies made by E.A. Dibai has been used to consider the luminosity of active nuclei in different spectral ranges as a function of the mass of the nuclei. It is shown that for the nuclei of type 1 Seyfert galaxies and close quasars the dependence of the bolometric luminosity on the mass (L/sub bol//approximately/ m/sup 4/3/) satisfies Hills's model.
