Description:
    An extensive redshift survey has been conducted on a sample of 15
    nearby (0.01≲z≲0.05) clusters of galaxies. A total number of 860
    redshifts were determined by fitting of emission-lines and/or
    cross-correlation techniques. Of this sample, 735 galaxies are within
    0.2-0.8Mpc (H0=50km/s/Mpc) of the center of clusters. Approximate
    morphological types are available for most of the galaxies. A
    comparison of the present redshifts with published data allows an
    extensive error analysis. The agreement is excellent with the most
    modern data, showing a zero point error of 5km/s and an overall
    consistency of the measurements and their uncertainties. We estimate
    our redshifts to have mean random errors
    around 30km/s. A population analysis of the clusters will be given in
    a forthcoming paper.
