In summary, this brief communication outlined first the recent measurement of large-scale anisotropy of the relic radiation by the Berkeley group of Smoot, Gorenstein and Muller (1977). the customary peculiar velocity interpretation of the dipole term gives v = 390 ± 60 km/sec in the direction of α = 11h.0 ± 0h.5 and δ = 6° ± 10°. These values differ from the preliminary results of Corey and Wilkinson (1976) by less than twice their reported errors.
