We present the results of an analysis of fifty-five bright clusters clusters of galaxies as a homogeneous sample taken from a new effort to catalogue galaxy clusters in the Southern Hemisphere. The positions of some 21,000 galaxies in clusters have been catalogued along with visual magnitudes, morphological types, position angles of extended objects and pertinent remarks. For all of the clusters, various cluster parameters have been determined and form the basis of comparative studies for these fundamental aggregates of matter in the universe.
