Measured velocities in pairs, groups, and clusters of galaxies have been used to estimate average masses. In pairs, these estimates depend strongly on the morphological type of the galaxies involved. In clusters, the measured motions imply much larger average masses, or the existence of intergalactic matter, or instability, and present a serious difficulty in identifying the members of clusters. Other measurable characteristics of galaxies in pairs-their orientations, dimensions, types, and luminosities - are also correlated, suggesting a common origin; but the effects of selection, as pointed out by Neyman, are shown to affect the results. These studies are all related to the problem of evolution of galaxies summarized in a brief resumé.
