Description:
    We present a catalogue of velocities for 551 galaxies (and give the
    coordinates of 39 stars misclassified as galaxies in our photometric
    plate catalogue) in a region covering about 100'x100' (0.94x0.94Mpc
    for an average redshift of 0.0555, assuming H0=50km/s/Mpc) in the
    direction of the rich cluster ABCG85. This catalogue includes
    previously published redshifts by Beers et al. (1991AJ....102.1581B)
    and Malumuth et al. (1992AJ....104..495M), together with our 367 new
    measurements. A total of 305 galaxies have velocities in the interval
    13350-20000km/s, and will be considered as members of the cluster.
    ABCG 85 therefore becomes one of the clusters with the highest number
    of measured redshifts; its optical properties are being investigated
    in a companion paper.
