/ Abstract

We present results of a new study of peculiar motions of 7 clusters in the Perseus—Pisces (PP) region, using the Fundamental Plane as a distance indicator. The sample is calibrated by reference to 9 additional clusters with data from the literature. Careful attention is paid to the matching of spectroscopic and photometric data from several sources.
