Abstract: 
    We present the results of photometric and spectroscopic observations
    of the cluster of galaxies SC2008-57 (A3667). The observations have
    resulted in a catalogue with positions and magnitudes for 203
    galaxies, complete at b_25 = 18.0, and radial velocities for 128
    galaxies, 91 per cent complete at b_25 = 17.5. The cluster can be
    classified as type L because its galaxy distribution is highly
    flattened. It shows two strong concentrations: a main concentration,
    centred on the cluster brightest galaxy (a D galaxy) and coincident
    with the peak of X-ray emission, and a substructure around the second
    brightest galaxy (also a D galaxy). Most of the galaxies in this
    substructure seem to be bound to the second-brightest galaxy, forming
    a dynamical subunit inside the cluster. The extreme flattening of the
    cluster may at least partially be due to the presence of the
    substructure. The cluster also shows evidence for luminosity
    segregation, with the brightest galaxies being preferentially found in
    high galaxy density regions. Most of the luminosity segregation,
    however, is produced by galaxies associated with the two clumps around
    the D galaxies, suggesting that dynamical friction is effective in
    subclusters with low velocity dispersions and may be associated with
    the formation of D galaxies. The velocity dispersion of SC2008-57 is
    high, about 1200 km/s, but consistent with the observed X-ray
    luminosity. The cluster mass, derived using several estimators, is
    about 2.6 x 10^15 M_solar. Both the cluster mass and velocity
    dispersion may be overestimates due to the presence of the
    substructure.

Note on table3:
   Comment from the author (Sodre L.):
   The galaxy numbers in the Table 2 of the paper were not those from the Table
   3. The correct numbers are 065, 086, 087, 097, 100, 120, respectively.
