\begin{Description}\relax
A numeric vector of velocities in km/sec of 82 galaxies from 6
well-separated conic sections of an \code{unfilled} survey of the Corona
Borealis region.  Multimodality in such surveys is evidence for voids
and superclusters in the far universe.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
galaxies
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Note}\relax
There is an 83rd measurement of 5607 km/sec in the Postman
\emph{et al.} paper which is omitted in Roeder (1990) and from the
dataset here.

There is also a typo: this dataset has 78th observation 26690 which
should be 26960.
