Abstract
The ESO Slice Project (ESP) is a galaxy redshift survey we are accompl ishing 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 and all the obtained data were reduced, providing 3348 galaxy redshifts. We present some prelimi nary results concerning the large scale galaxy distribution and the lu minosity function.
