Stars with spectral types later than or equal to F5V in the Coma Ber cluster have been measured from 1977 to 1979 with the spectrometer CORAVEL (A. Baranne et al. 1980). The aims of this investigation were to clarify the membership based on radial velocity for some faint stars, to study the binarity of the low mass stars of the cluster, and to obtain the distribution of the rotational velocities for the red dwarfs. 391 measurements have been made for 34 stars. The average dispersion over the mean VR of each star is 0.6 kms−1.
