The aim of the present work (performed in collaboration with J.R. Gott and E.L. Turner) is to account for the observed distribution of galaxies in terms of the gravitational instability picture. Specifically we assume that all the matter is contained in galaxies. the evolution of such a system can then be studied by N-body simulations once the initial conditions are specified. Our approach is essentially experimental; a variety of models are computed and the results are compared with observations.
