Abstract:
    The occurrence of Seyfert galaxies in 6 samples representative of
    different cosmological environments (i.e. isolated pairs, compact and
    loose groups) is analysed. To avoid biases linked to subjective sample
    selection criteria only canonical samples, taken from the literature,
    are considered. It is found that the average frequency of Seyferts in
    all samples, is near 2%. Most Seyferts lying in pairs and compact
    groups show disturbed morphological appearance, whilst in loose groups
    disturbed and ``isolated'' Seyferts have roughly the same proportion.
    Then, within each sample, structures which host a Seyfert are compared
    to structures which do not. No appreciable differences regarding
    dynamical properties are found.

          6: Seyferts in Garcia's (1993Thesi.........G) groups
Note (2): Seyfert type is from Veron & Veron (1996, Cat. <VII/207>) catalog
Note (3): Identification and number as from the original reference.
Note (4): Morphological peculiarity has been derived via visual inspection of
           DSS and (in a few cases) of CCD R images taken at
           Loiano 152cm telescope.
