Holmberg's (1937) analysis of the distribution of double and multiple galaxies provided what may have been the first hint of a local inhomogeneity of greater scale than that of the Local Group. the idea of a Local Supercluster was subsequently revived by de Vaucouleurs (1953, 1956, 1958). the analyses of others, as well as the continuing study of de Vaucouleurs himself (1976 and references cited therein) have now effectively established the reality of the Local Supercluster. Several other more remote inhomogeneities, or “clouds” of galaxies, were described by Shane and Wirtanen (1954). the writer (Abell 1958) found the distribution of rich clusters to be clumpy, and published a finding list of several apparent superclusters (Abell 1961).
