We are searching for clusters of galaxies on photographs taken for the Southern Sky Survey with the U.K. Schmidt telescope at Siding Spring, and we are preparing a comprehensive catalogue of the southern clusters. The purpose is to extend the early cluster survey made from the Palomar Sky Survey (Abell 1958) to full-sky coverage. We are taking special pains to delineate those clusters in the new southern survey that as nearly as possible match those criteria set for the northern survey clusters to be included in a homogeneous statistical sample. It is our expectation, therefore, that there will be a homogeneous all-sky sample of clusters for studying the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe.
