  The ``Century Survey'' (CS hereafter) is a complete redshift survey of a
1$^\circ$-wide strip. It covers 0.03 steradians to a limiting m$_R$ = 16.13.
The survey is 98.4% complete and contains 1762 galaxies. Large-scale features
in the survey are qualitatively similar to those in other surveys: there are
large voids surrounded or nearly surrounded by thin dense regions which are
sections of structures like (and including) the Great Wall.
  The survey crosses the classical Corona Borealis supercluster. The galaxy
density enhancement associated with this system extends for $\simgreat 100
h^{-1}$ Mpc (the Hubble constant is H$_0 = 100h$ km s$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$).
  The Schechter (1976) luminosity function parameters for the CS are: $M^*_{CS}
= -20.73 ^{+0.17}_{-0.18}$, $\alpha_{CS} = -1.17 ^{+0.19}_{-0.19}$, and
$\phi^*_{CS} = 0.0250\pm0.0061$ Mpc$^{-3}$mag$^{-1}$. In concert with the ESO
Key Program (\cite{vet97}; \cite{zuc97}) and the AUTOFIB (\cite{ell96})
surveys, the CS indicates that the absolute normalization of the luminosity
function exceeds estimates based on shallower and/or sparser surveys.
