The spatial distribution of clusters of galaxies and the large scale structure of the universe is investigated. Correlations in the spatial cluster distribution are much stronger than those seen for galaxies, and over scales much larger than previously anticipated. The following main studies are completed and published; (1) The determination of the correlation functions of rich clusters of galaxies, and its dependence on richness and other parameters. Very large scale structure exists in the universe, and rich clusters participate in this structure more efficiently than galaxies. (2) A complete catalog of superclusters, is determined. The selection criteria is that of a volume density enhancement, and is done in 3 dimensions. (3) The giant galaxy void in Bootes is found to be surrouned by rich, large superclusters from the catalog described above. (4) A very large scale void of rich clusters of galaxies is found in the study of the spatial distribution of rich clusters.
