Abstract:
    We report velocity measurements of galaxies in this, the densest mass
    concentration within z=0.1, obtained with the multifiber spectrograph
    MEFOS at ESO, La Silla. We derive redshifts of a number of Abell
    clusters and draw implications for the supercluster structure. The
    clusters A3554, A3566, A3577 and AS718 are confirmed as members, while
    the clusters A3524, A3531, A3542, A3545 and A3549 are shown to be
    background systems and A3581 a foreground one
