Scientific paper

Data from four distinct surveys at the north and south Galactic poles have been combined to produce a well-sampled distribution of galaxies by redshift on a linear scale extending to 2000/h/Mpc. An excess correlation and an apparent regularity in the galaxy distribution with a characteristic scale of 128/h Mpc is reported. This structure is revealed only after the completion of recent surveys extending to redshift greater than 0.2. Similarly deep surveys with greater angular spread are needed to verify these results and to determine the implications for cosmology.
