A description of a magnitude limited redshift survey covering 9 adjacent UKST fields is presented together with some initial results. The survey is currently ∼ 90% complete to bj ≤ 17.1. The compilation of ∼ 1700 redshifts will form one of the largest, independent, contiguous, well sampled and most homogeneous redshift catalogues currently available. The special features of this catalogue are its coverage (∼ 330deg2), mean sampling depth (∼ 125h–1 Mpc) and field to field photometric accuracy (bj ± 0.05). Morphological classifications have also been determined for all galaxies in the survey fields down to bj ≤ 17.1 and COSMOS image parameters are also available. This extensive catalogue should prove a valuable database for many projects but particularly in delineating the detailed structure in the large scale galaxy distribution.
