The Southern Abell Redshift Survey contains 39 clusters of galaxies withredshifts in the range 0.0 < z < 0.31 and a median redshift depth of z =0.0845. SARS covers the region 0 < decl < -65 deg, R.A. < 5h, R.A. > 21h (whileavoiding the LMC and SMC) with b > 40. Cluster locations were chosen from theAbell and Abell-Corwin-Olowin catalogs while galaxy positions were selectedfrom the Automatic Plate Measuring Facility galaxy catalog withextinction-corrected magnitudes in the range 15 <= b_j < 19. SARS utilized theLas Campanas 2.5 m duPont telescope, observing either 65 or 128 objectsconcurrently over a 1.5 sq deg field. New redshifts for 3440 galaxies arereported in the fields of these 39 clusters of galaxies.
