Radial velocities have been measured for 231 galaxies chosen by apparent magnitude from 282 small fields spanning the area on the sky thought to contain the Bootes void. The galaxy distribution exhibits a spherical volume 6000 km/s in diameter in which no objects are found. The rms velocity difference of close pairs in our sample is less than 180 km/s.
