Abstract
The distribution of galaxies up to a distance of 200 Mpc (650 million light-years) is flat and shows a structure like a shell roughly centre d on the Local Supercluster (Virgo cluster). This result clearly confi rms the existence of the hypergalactic large-scale structure noted in 1988. This is presently the largest structure ever seen.
