The clusters and groups are the A262, A1367, Coma (A1656), A2634, Cancer, and Pegasus Clusters and the NGC 383 and NGC 507 Groups. The new measurements were derived from medium-dispersion spectra that cover 600Å centered on the Mg I b triplet at λ∼5175Å. Velocity dispersions were measured using the Tonry & Davis (1979AJ.....84.1511T 1979AJ.....84.1511T) cross-correlation method, with a typical accuracy of 6%. A detailed comparison with other data sources is made.
