  The results of the redshift measurements and of the detailed surface
photometry in BVR of the compact group ShCG 376 are presented. The radial
velocity dispersion, the virial mass, the total luminosity, the M/L ratio, and
the crossing time of the group are estimated. The group consists of eight
accordant redshift spiral galaxies. Four (or possibly five) of the group
members have emission-line spectra. Such morphological content and the number
of emission-line galaxies are very atypical for compact galaxy groups. There
are signs of interaction between some members of the group. It is suggested
that the irregular shape of the brightest galaxy No. 4 is probably due to
interaction with other members of the group, particularly, the emission line
galaxy No. 6 with a discordant redshift (Delta v = 2600 km/s). It is speculated
that the latter galaxy may be a infalling intruder to the group.
