By means of a very straightforward test, it is found that clumpiness of substructure in clusters of galaxies, if present, does not apparently play any significant role in the observed spatial distribution of morphological types. The result is in agreement with the interpretation that the well-known dependence of morphological fractions on the local projected number density of galaxies is attached to the general shape of the number density profile of clusters. This may have important implications for the theory of galaxy formation and evolution.
