Keywords: catalogs - galaxies: distances and redshifts -
          galaxies: ellipticals and lenticular -
          galaxies: kinematics and dynamics - methods: data analysis

Description:
    Measurements of central velocity dispersions and heliocentric radial
    velocities are presented for 94 field galaxies. Among these, 5 new
    radial velocities and 80 new central velocity dispersions are
    obtained. Reduction was performed independently by cross-correlation,
    Fourier-quotient and Fourier-correlation-quotient methods.
