  We are using the 2dF spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain
spectra for a complete sample of all 14000 objects with 16.5<B<19.7 in a 12
square degree area centred on the Fornax cluster. The aims of this project
include the study of dwarf galaxies in the cluster (both known low surface
brightness objects and putative normal surface brightness dwarfs) and a
comparison sample of background field galaxies. We will also measure quasars,
any previously unrecognised compact galaxies and a large sample of Galactic
stars. Here we present initial results from the first 680 objects observed,
including the discovery of a number of dwarf galaxies in the cluster more
compact than any previously known.
