The goal of this program has been to study the dynamics of the clusters, with emphasis on determining the nature and frequency of peculiar-velocity cD galaxies. In this paper we present redshifts for 762 galaxies in the fields of the rich Abell clusters A779, A1691, A1749, A1767, A1837, A1927, A2067, A2079, A2089, A2199, and A2666. We also present preliminary dynamical properties for these clusters using our measured redshifts.
