  The kinematics of isolated dwarf galaxies in the Local Sheet have been
studied to ascertain how the Council of Giants has affected flows. Peculiar
velocities parallel to the Sheet in the frame of reference of the Council
ascend steeply from negative to positive values on the near side of the Council
at a heliocentric radius of $2.4 \pm 0.2$ Mpc. They descend to preponderantly
negative values at a radius of $3.9^{+0.4}_{-0.5}$ Mpc, which is near the
middle of the Council realm. Such behaviour is evidence for a flow field set up
by the combined gravitational effects of the Local Group and Council, the
ascending node being where their gravitational forces balance. Receding dwarfs
on the near side of the Council are predominantly located in the direction of
M94, although this may be a manifestation of the limitations of sampling. If
M94 were entirely responsible for the placement of the ascending node, then the
galaxy's total mass relative to the Local Group would have to be
$0.8^{+0.4}_{-0.3}$, the same as indicated by the orbits of satellite galaxies.
Rather, if the placement of the ascending node were set by matter distributed
evenly in azimuth at the Council's radius, then the required total mass
relative to the Local Group would have to be $4^{+3}_{-2}$, which is 30% to 40%
lower than implied by satellite motions but still consistent within errors. The
mere existence of the ascending node confirms that the Council of Giants limits
the gravitational reach of the Local Group.
