A previous analysis of Abell's (1965) catalog of rich clusters of galaxies is compared with the conclusions of the adiabatic (acoustic) theory of galaxy formation, assuming a Friedmann cosmological model with a dimensionless Hubble constant of 0.5 and a dimensionless mean matter density of approximately 0.1. The mean density of rich clusters is analyzed, an angular correlation function is derived for the rich clusters, and optimum values of the spectral index for the initial perturbation spectrum are obtained for dimensionless mean matter densities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 1. The results show that the theoretical and observed mean densities of rich clusters are in good agreement, that the theoretical angular correlation function is close to that obtained in the previous analysis, and that the amplitude of initial perturbations is consistent with estimates based on various arguments
