We report velocity measurements of galaxies in this, the densest mass concentration within z=0.1, obtained with the multifiber spectrograph MEFOS at ESO, La Silla. We derive redshifts of a number of Abell clusters and draw implications for the supercluster structure. The clusters A3554, A3566, A3577 and AS718 are confirmed as members, while the clusters A3524, A3531, A3542, A3545 and A3549 are shown to be background systems and A3581 a foreground one.
