An investigation of the clustering of galaxies making use of correlation function techniques is discussed. Correlation functions are defined and the relations between the angular and spatial functions are presented. The results obtained from application of the method to three samples of galaxies are described and some conclusions are drawn. Finally, some directions for future research are suggested.
