The spatial distribution of the 1–3 keV X-ray background (XRB) in five Einstein Observatory Imaging Proportional Counter fields has been analyzed. The autocorrelation function does not exceed 9% on scales ~5′. The observed count probability distribution is then used to check the source number-flux distribution at faint levels. Agreement with the Einstein Observatory deep survey is obtained. A cutoff in the number-flux distribution for a Euclidean population of sources at a flux approximately one-half of the deep survey limit, previously suggested by Hamilton and Helfand (1987), is also inferred.
