The deep galaxy counts obtained by Jarvis & Tyson have been investigated from the point of view of a large-scale galaxy distribution. The residual area to area fluctuations of counts after subtraction of the effects due to the galactic extinction were interpreted as a result of the clustering of galaxies. A spatial covariance function is estimated for large separations using the observed dispersion of counts by means of the Limber formula. A characteristic scale-length for the covariance function is 40 - 50 Mpc (H = 50 km s-1 Mpc-1), consistent with some recent determinations. This is incompatible with the results based on the small amplitude of the angular covariance function at large separations found by Peebles.
