  In a spectroscopic survey of the Fornax cluster to Bj=17.5 using the FLAIR
spectrograph on the UK Schmidt Telescope we have discovered seven new compact
dwarf cluster members. These were previously thought to be giant background
spirals. These new members are among the most compact, high surface brightness
dwarf galaxies known with absolute magnitudes of M_B=-14 and scale lengths of
alpha=400 pc. One in particular may be the first high (normal) surface
brightness dwarf spiral discovered. Three of the new dwarfs are blue compact
dwarfs (BCDs); their inclusion in the cluster increases the faint end of the
BCD luminosity function by a factor of 2 or more. We extended the survey 2.5
mag fainter with the 2dF spectrograph and in our first field found 7 bright
emission line galaxies beyond the Fornax cluster which were unresolved on the
sky survey plates. Galaxies of this type would be missed in most existing
galaxy surveys.
