In previous work (Anosova, Kiseleva 1993) we have studied the statistical properties of Hickson's (1982) compact galaxy groups. We have shown that most of these groups are confident and probable physical systems of galaxies. Only about 13% of galaxies can be non-members of their groups due to the effects of projection.
