Abstract
We compile 1113 redshifts (648 new measurements, 465 from the literature) f or Zwicky catalog galaxies in the region (-3.(o)5 less than or equal to del ta less than or equal to 8.(o)5, 11.(h)5 less than or equal to alpha less t han or equal to 13.(h)5). We include redshifts for 114 component objects in 78 Zwicky catalog multiplets. The redshift survey in this region is 99.5% complete to the Zwicky catalog limit, m(Zw) = 15.7. It is 99.9% complete to m(Zw) = 15.5, the CfA Redshift Survey (CfA2) magnitude limit. The survey r egion is adjacent to the northern portion of CfA2, overlaps the northernmos t slice of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey, includes the southern extent o f the Virgo Cluster, and is roughly centered on the QSO 3C 273. As in other portions of the Zwicky catalog, bright and faint galaxies trace the same l arge-scale structure.
