TEODORO 1 1Instituto Superior Te?cnico, Lisboa, Portugal lteodoro@glencoe.ist.utl.pt We perform a detailed comparison of the IRAS PSCz and 1.2-Jy spherical har- monic coefficients of the predicted velocity fields in redshift space. The monopole terms predicted from the two surveys show some differences. Faint galaxies are responsible for this mismatch that disappears when extracting a PSCz subsample of galaxies with fluxes larger than 1.2-Jy. The analysis
