Abstract:
    We report  the results of a spectroscopic  survey of faint galaxies in
    the regions surrounding Hickson compact groups. Our sample is composed
    of 17  groups within  9000km/s. The  spectra were  taken at  the prime
    focus  of   the  Tololo  4m  telescope,   using  the  ARGUS  fiber-fed
    spectrograph. From  these observations, redshifts  were determined for
    the faint  galaxies previously  identified by  de Carvalho,  Ribeiro &
    Zepf  (1994ApJS...93...47D)   in  the  surroundings   of  the  groups.
    Statistical  methods were applied to the resultant catalog in order to
    determine the kinematical  structure  of  each  group.  This  analysis
    confirms the idea that the Hickson sample of compact groups contains a
    wide  variety of projection and  dynamical configurations. Our results
    demonstrate  the necessity of new spectroscopic surveys around compact
    groups in order to assess their complete velocity distribution.
