A new catalog of thin, edge-on spiral galaxies is used to determine the parameters of the angular correlation function ω(θ) = Aθ^-δ^. The catalog covers the entire sky and contains 4455 galaxies, mainly of late morphological types. Generally, the correlation function for flat galaxies has a slope that is close to the standard value δ = 0.77. Dividing this set of galaxies according to their morphological properties reveals a tendency for the "superthin" spirals and low mean surface brightness galaxies to cluster more strongly. Further analysis indicates that the effects of morphological inhomogeneity of the catalog with depth are marginal. The observed differences in the values of the parameter δ for the various subclasses of spirals may be the result of peculiarities of the large-scale structure of the Universe.
