Abstract:
    We present redshifts and stellar velocity dispersions for about 40
    galaxies in each of 14 rich clusters from the southern cluster survey
    of Abell & Corwin (1983, Early Evolution of the Universe and Its
    Present Structure, p.179, Eds. Abell & Chincarini, Reidel, Dordrecht,
    Holland). The clusters cover a wide range of richnesses and Abell and
    Bautz-Morgan types, our aim being to compile a large, homogeneous
    database for examining and comparing dynamical phenomena and
    morphological properties. Further papers will present photometry for
    the clusters and an analysis of the database.

Note (1): R: ratio of peak height to noise in the cross-correlation function,
      which is used to calculate the errors and is a measure of the
      combined effects of noise and template mismatch (see Tonry &
      Davis, 1979AJ.....84.1511T).
Note (2): Method by which velocities were obtained:
   Blank: cross-correlation
       E: emission lines
       A: absorption features
     E+A: emission and absorption features
