In this paper, 139 redshifts obtained in the region of the Centaurus-Hydra supercluster are presented. These data, combined with the radial velocities reported in an earlier paper, are used in a preliminary investigation of the spatial distribution of galaxies in the surroundings of the Centaurus cluster. Attention is focused on two particular regions of the sky for which we have nearly complete redshift samples of galaxies brighter than blue magnitude 15.0. From the analysis of the spatial distribution of galaxies in these two regions, it is found that the system of galaxies associated with the Centaurus cluster extends northeastward, and that the complexes of Centaurus and Hydra may well be considered as separate superclusters.
