Abstract:
    We present a spectroscopic survey of the rich X-ray-selected galaxy
    cluster CL 1358+6245 at z=0.328. When our 173 new multislit spectra of
    cluster galaxies are combined with data from the literature, we
    produce a catalog of 232 cluster members in a region 10'x11'
    (3.5Mpcx3.8Mpc) surrounding the brightest cluster galaxy. These data
    are used to study the structure and dynamics of the cluster and to
    examine the radial and velocity distributions as a function of
    spectral type. We classify the spectral types of the cluster members
    according to the strengths of the Balmer absorption lines (H{delta},
    H{gamma}, and H{beta}) and the [O II] 3727{AA} emission line.

Note (1): Positions are given with respect to the brightest cluster galaxy
           (number 375) at RA=13h58m20.7s, DE=+62{deg}45'33" (1950), with
           positive x to the west and positive y to the north.
Note (2):  The strength of each spectral index is a measure of the flux in the
            central bandpass compared to a continuum level set by the sidebands.
