We present radial velocities for nearby dwarf galaxy candidates
found by Karachentseva & Karachentsev (1998) on the POSS-II films.
Out of 118 observed objects, 88 have been detected in the Hα line. Their median
radial velocity is 1750 km s-1. A quarter of the galaxies belong to the
Local Volume, having corrected radial velocities 
km s-1.
Some of them are members of the nearby groups around Maffei/IC 342, M 81,
and NGC 6946.
Key words: galaxies: dwarf
