New redshifts are presented for 51 galaxies which lie in a narrow strip along the celestial equator. The redshifts are derived from a mixture of optical and H I spectra; for the latter subset (37 galaxies) H I fluxes and line widths are also given. One of the two Ly-alpha clouds in the Local Supercluster appears to be associated with a spiral galaxy, although the angular and physical separations (42 arcmin and 180 kpc) are large. The other nearby Ly-alpha cloud and the large H I cloud appear to be more isolated. None of the nine Ly-alpha clouds with velocities between 5000-20,000 km/s are associated with any specific galaxies, but most appear to fall within or near the large-scale structures defined by the galaxies.
