Abstract
The redshifts of more than 600 clusters of galaxies have been compiled from the literature in order to study the large-scale distribution of these objects. Because this sample is more complete to larger distances than that of individual galaxies the volume investigated for distribution of extragalactic objects is extended relative to previous papers. For high galactic latitudes the sample is nearly complete for z ≤ 0.06 and the completeness is sufficient in order to recognize the design up to about z=0.12. In the figure example of the distribution of clusters is shouwn (•: ABELL clusters of richness class R ≥ 1; •: ABELL clusters of richness class R = O and non-ABELL clusters).
