The structure of the coma cluster of galaxies.Analysis of radial velocities in the coma cluster (many of them new) in conjunction with previous data on the density distribution. The cluster extends more than 200 min in radius, with bright and faint galaxies distributed in nearly the same way. Some spirals are members. Several different determinations of M/L give values around 250. The cluster is stabilized by a 'missing mass' some seven times the mass of the galaxies, which must be distributed in the same way as the galaxies.
