Through the steady acquisition of redshifts of galaxies, our understanding of the large-scale galaxy distribution has evolved drastically during the past decade. Most recently, the Centre for Astrophysics (CfA) redshift survey (B =5 15.5) has suggested a new picture of the galaxy distribution: galaxies appear to be distributed on thin shells surrounding vast regions with diameters between 20 and 50 h-1 Mpc (Ho = 100 h km S-1 Mpc-1) devoid of bright galaxies (de Lapparent, Geiler, and Huchra 1986). This new interpretation of the galaxy distribution is consistent with the detection of a 60 h-1 Mpc void in Boötes (Kirshner et al. 1981) and with the alternation of peaks and - 100 h-1 Mpc wide valleys in deep pencil-beam probes (Koo, Kron, and Szalay 1987). Shell-like structures are also detected in redshift surveys of HI galaxies (Haynes and Giovanelli 1986).
