ADC_Keywords: Galaxies; Redshifts 

Description: 
  216 redshifts have been obtained in a region of 981deg^2^ south of
  the Hercules supercluster. 172 of these redshifts are of galaxies with
  mpg<=15.1, 110 of which had no previous velocity measurement. 44 new
  redshifts are of galaxies fainter than mpg=15.1.

Introduction: 
  table1 lists all the galaxies with Zwicky magnitude brighter than 15.1
  either included in the CGCG (Zwicky et al. 1960; Zwicky & Herzog 1963, 1966)
  or in the 1990 public version of ZCAT and lying in the area delimited by
  (RA=14h40m, Dec=-3d), (RA=14h40m, Dec=39d), (RA=16h40m, Dec=39d),
  (RA=16h40m, Dec=15d), (RA=18h18m, Dec=15d) and (RA=18h18m, Dec=-3d).
  For the sake of completeness and in order that information can be
  disseminated, table2 lists all galaxies with either unpublished
  velocities (44) or morphologies, or for which there is an estimate
  of the magnitude.

Note (1): An asterisk denotes eye estimates for those galaxies not in the CGCG
           and for the members of double and multiple systems. The eye estimates
           were obtained by comparison with a certain number (about a dozen) of
           Zwicky galaxies in the same field on the blue glass copies of the
           Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS), and they should be within
           0.1mag of CGCG measurements.
Note (2): One of 110 new velocities obtained by M. Tarenghi in the early
           eighties.
Note (3): Whenever the morphology was not available in the literature,
           B. Garilli and D. Maccagni independently classified the galaxies by
           inspecting the blue glass copies of the POSS.
