A group of galaxies observed edge on are selected for use as indicators of the spatial distribution of matter in the Universe. These galaxies, designated as F galaxies, are those in which the ratio of the minor diameter to the major diameter (D) is less than 0.10 and with D greater than or equal to 1.0'. It is found that the distribution of F galaxies in space is uniform, and no indications of the presence of superclusters are detected. This uniform spatial distribution is also found to apply to approximately 30% of the galaxies in Nilson's catalog (1973) with arbitrary orientation relative to the observer. In addition, the anisotropy in the distribution of the position angles of F galaxies is examined. It is concluded that the anisotropy is a result of errors in the measurement of the angular diameters, which are dependent on the position angle.
