Description:
    All rich clusters of galaxies from Abell and ACO catalogs are examined
    to find superclusters of galaxies. Measured as well as estimated
    redshift of the clusters is used and the study is in the redshift
    space. The searching procedure is general and is applicable not only
    to clusters of galaxies, but also to galaxies to find groups. The
    number of detected superclusters of galaxies for space density
    enhancement f=10, 20, 40, 100, 200 and 400 is 893. The enhancement is
    above a local density defined for a sphere with radius 100 Mpc around
    each cluster. Kinematical and dynamical properties for superclusters,
    containing at least one cluster with measured redshift and generally
    located up to distance 627 Mpc (z = 0.20) with |b|>40deg are given. A
    detailed comparison with other catalogs is carried out.
