Abstract:
We present 865 redshifts of galaxies located in the equatorial strip
-17.5 deg ≤ Dec. ≤ -2.5 deg in the right ascension range
20 h ≤ R.A. ≤ 5 h. Redshifts have been obtained for the complete
sample of all 833 galaxies in the Morphological Catalog of Galaxies
with magnitudes brighter than m = 14.5 (corresponding approximately
to m(Zwicky) = 15.0). This sample also includes three galaxies from
other sources with more reliable magnitudes, satisfying this limit,
and 29 fainter galaxies, usually companions of the galaxies in the
magnitude limited sample. Our maps of a very large volume of nearby
space demonstrate a variety of coherent large scale structures which
include large voids, 20-50 h-1 Mpc in diameter and large walls at
least 70 h-1 Mpc across.

Note (1): from the Morphological Catalog of Galaxies (MCG, Cat. VII/62
and VII/100). Occasionally these can be greatly in error and better
positions were adopted whenever possible.
Note (2): generally from MCG.
Especially for brighter galaxies, more accurate magnitudes were taken
from other sources, even though they are not exactly on the same
photometric system (see file "refs.dat")
Note (3): Additional types (beyond de Vaucouleurs' range)
are from the CfA Redshift Catalog (Huchra et al. 1992, available from
the NSSDC and CDS, Cat. VII/164), e.g., type "20" is a "Spiral galaxy"
that has not been subclassified further.
