Scientific paper

COSMOS measures on a deep UK Schmidt Telescope Plate have been used to obtain the number-magnitude count for galaxies in a field of 14.6 square degrees near the South Galactic Pole. The results are in excellent agreement with data for the North Galactic Pole for galaxies fainter than B = 18.0, indicating no large-scale differences between north and south. A deficiency in numbers is observed for galaxies with B 16.0. This is comparable to the deficiency at B 17.5 for counts at the North Galactic Pole and supports the suggested asymmetry of the bright galaxy distribution between north and south galactic poles
