The statistical properties of the galaxy distribution in the Northern and Southern Hemisperes are compared, using the redshift catalogs of the CfA Redshift Survey and the Southern Sky Redshift Survey. These surveys probe comparable volumes of space, making it possible to examine whether the spatial distribution of galaxies in these samples has the same general characteristics. Inspite of apparent differences in the clustering pattern, as perceived from a visual inspection of the redshift maps, the results obtained from the application of several statistical indicators to volume-limited samples drawn from both data sets indicate that the clustering properties are, on scales less than about 10/h Mpc (H0 = 100h km/s Mpc), essentially indistinguishable.
