Spectra have been obtained for 23 galaxies near the center of the Virgo cluster. A master list of redshifts and morphology was assembled for all galaxies within 6 deg of the cluster center. Reanalysis of the mean redshift of the total spiral (S) and elliptical-lenticular (E/S0) samples indicates no difference. However, the late-type (Sbc-Scd) spirals are found to have a significantly higher mean radial velocity than early types. This shows up as an increase in redshift with radius, since the late-type spirals are found at an average distance of 3.8 deg from the central regions of the cluster. It is shown that the most significant difference in line-of-sight velocity dispersion occurs between lenticulars (S0) and spirals (S).
