The evolution of cosmological density correlation functions is calculated to lowest nonvanishing order in perturbation theory for an initially random Gaussian distribution. The three-point function so obtained scales with size as in the continuous-hierarchy model, but there is a residual nontrivial dependence on shape of the reduced three-point amplitude Q. The average value Q = 34/21 - (1/6) gamma is consistent with observations in the nonperturbative regime. The four-point function is also hierarchical in form, with amplitudes Ra = (34/21)2 and Rb = 682/189. The perturbation expansion in fact gives kappa(N) proportional to xi to the (N-1) for the reduced correlation function kappa(N) to all orders N. A graphical technique enumerates the terms which appear in kappa(N).
