Recent measurement of UK Schmidt plates have yielded interesting results on the cross-correlation of galaxies with QSOs and ultra-violet excess (UVX) objects. We find that in all Schmidt fields so far analysed there appears to be a significant anti-correlation (at angular scales less than 5') between the positions of galaxies and QSOs and between the positions of galaxies and UVX objects. This anti-correlation appears to be restricted to those galaxies that are found in clusters. These observations can very naturally be explained using a model in which dust within clusters of galaxies obscures the QSOs lying at cosmological distances behind them. This hypothesis may be further corroborated by tentative evidence that the UVX objects and the QSOs appear to be reddened close to clusters of galaxies.
