The clustering of galaxies in the MacGillivray and Dodd (1980) sample, obtained from Cosmos machine measures, has been investigated using the method of Mead's analysis and dispersion-subdivision curves. The results show two characteristic clustering scale-lengths in the data, with angular sizes of approximately 0.12 and 1.00 deg. At the redshift 0.5 (assuming a deceleration parameter of +1), the corresponding linear dimensions of the features are approximately 3/h and approximately 25/h Mpc respectively. This is interpreted as providing evidence for the second-order clustering of galaxies. Comparison with computer simulations of galaxy fields indicates that this second-order clustering is consistent with a cellular model for superclustering.
