Abstract

We present the data from an extensive, moderately deep (bj~9.5) spectroscopic survey of ~ 600 galaxies within four regions of sky located near the South Galactic Pole. About 75 per cent of the measured galaxies are in an approximately 3° x 1.5° region dominated by the rich cluster of galaxies Klemola 44 (Abell 4038). The other three smaller areas cover about 1 deg2 each. Here, we discuss in detail the observing and data reduction strategies, and the completeness of and errors in the measured redshifts. The data collected are being used for: (i) a study of the large-scale redshift distribution of the galaxies in each field, and (ii) a thorough dynamical investigation of Klemola 44. Results from these analyses will be presented in forthcoming papers.
