We review the current status of the Edinburgh/Durham southern galaxy catalogue. The aim of this project is to use COSMOS measurements of the UK Schmidt J survey to produce a unique data base of galaxies, complete down to bj ∼ 20.5 mag and covering ∼ 100 survey fields. We have developed the optimum procedures to classify objects as stars or galaxies and calibrate the galaxy magniudes on individual plates. We are confident that residual systematics will be ∼ 5%, thereby ensuring that this catalogue will substantially contribute to our understanding of the Universe at large. One initial finding of the survey is a probable 6 sigma density fluctuation in the galaxy distribution.
