Data on the surface distribution of galaxies in a number of clusters has been given by several authors (see, for example, Shane & Wirtanen 1954; Zwicky 1956, 1957; Omer, Page & Wilson 1965; Clark 1968; Noonan 1971, 1974; Bahcall 1971, 1972a, b, 1973a, b, 1974, 1975; Rudnicki 1963; Rudnicki & Baranauska 1966a, b; Rood et al. 1972; Rood & Sastry 1972; Oemler 1974; Austin & Peach 1974a, b; Chincarini & Rood 1975, 1976; and references quoted therein). The distributions show a relatively smooth fall-off from a high density at the center of the cluster to a low density tail at the outskirts of the cluster. Secondary maxima or subclustering are sometimes superimposed on an otherwise smooth and monotonic profile.
