Abstract
We present the first results of a galaxy redshift survey, ESO Slice Pr oject (ESP), are are accomplishing as an ESO Key-Project over about 30 square degrees in a region near the South Galactic Pole. The limiting magnitude is b(J)=19.4. Observations were completed in October 1994 a nd almost ad the data obtained so far were reduced, providing 3195 gal axy redshifts. We present some preliminary results concerning the larg e scale galaxy distribution and their luminosity function.
