SFI[@dacostanusser] and of the and ENEAR velocity fields[@nusserdacosta]. Figure \[fig:12sfi\] shows the smoothed velocity field predicted from the 1.2 Jy survey (left), adopting the best-fit value of $\beta_I=0.6$, and the measured SFI field (right). The infall to Virgo ($l =284^\circ, b =
74^\circ$) dominates the nearby SFI flow. In the middle panel, the field exhibits a dipole pattern corresponding to the reflex motion of the Local Group with infalling galaxies in the Hydra-Centaurus direction and an outward flow in the Perseus-Pisces direction, as seen in the LG restframe. Comparing the two fields one immediately sees that the general pattern of the velocity fields is remarkably similar with excellent agreement in the location of outflows and inflows and with only a few nearby galaxies having large residuals. This result gives confidence in the determination of $\beta_I$. Most encouraging is the absence of large regions of coherent residuals such as the dipole signature seen in the Mark III analysis at intermediate and distant redshift shells. Similar analysis has been performed using the survey and the ENEAR catalog of peculiar velocities. Figure \[fig:psczenear\] shows the corresponding smoothed velocity fields, for an adopted value of $\beta_I=0.5$. Comparison of the right-side of Figures \[fig:12sfi\] and
