Newly obtained photoelectric V magnitudes for three galaxies in Shakhbazian I, when combined with the virial analysis of Robinson and Wampler, show that the cluster mass-to-luminosity ratio is M/L approximately equal to 4. The first brightest galaxy in the cluster (an elliptical) has (U-B) and (B-V) color indices which are consistent with those of normal ellipticals in the Virgo and Coma clusters, and it is suggested that the galaxies in Shakhbazian I are not compact galaxies.
