We report new redshifts for 115 bright galaxies located near the celestial equator. The spectra were observed with a blue-sensitive photon-counting Reticon on the 100-in. DuPont telescope, and the redshifts were derived using the data-analysis system developed for the CfA Redshift Survey. Comparisons with other measured redshifts suggest that these data are similar in quality to the redshifts measured at Mt. Hopkins for the CfA Redshift Survey; the velocity zero point is good to 10 to 15 km s/sup -1/, with a typical error of 35 km s/sup -1/, with a typical error of 35 km s/sup -1/ for the individual measurements.
