Most of them are spiral galaxies of later morphological types whose disks are seen almost edge-on. The individual distances to the 2724 2MFGC galaxies with known rotation velocities and radial velocities are determined using a multiparameter infrared Tully-Fisher relation. A list of the distances and peculiar velocities of these galaxies is presented. The collective motion of the 2MFGC galaxies relative to the cosmic microwave background is characterized by a velocity V=199±37km/s in the direction l=304±11, b=-8±8 . Our list is currently the most representative and uniform sample for analyzing non-Hubble motions of galaxies on a scale of ∼100Mpc.
