The Southern Abell Redshift Survey (SARS) contains 39 clusters of galaxies with redshifts in the range 0.0<z<0.31 and a median redshift depth of z{d1}=0.0845. SARS covers the region 0°<δ←65°, α<5^h,α>21^h (while avoiding the LMC and SMC), with {mid}b{mid}>40°. Cluster locations were chosen from the Abell and Abell-Corwin-Olowin catalogs, while galaxy positions were selected from the Automatic Plate Measuring Facility galaxy catalog with extinction-corrected magnitudes in the range 15≤b_J<19. SARS used the %%%% Already done %%%% Las Campanas 2.5 m du Pont telescope, observing either 65 or 128 objects concurrently over a 1.5 deg² field. New redshifts for 3440 galaxies are reported in the fields of these 39 clusters of galaxies.
