The variable Mass Hypothesis of conformal gravitation theory of Hoyle-
Narlikar is used to develop a model for the anomalous redshift quasar-
galaxy associations. It is hypothesised that quasars are born in and e
jected from the nuclei of parent galaxies as massless objects and the
particle masses in them systematically increase with epoch. The dynami
cs of such an ejection is discussed and it is shown that the observed
features such as redshift bunching and quasar alignments can be unders
tood in this scenario. Further tests of this hypothesis are suggested.
