We present correlation function results from galaxy and QSO redshift surveys. The galaxy correlation function shows evidence for a possible ‘shoulder’ feature in ξ(s) at s = 2h−1 Mpc. At scales between 10 and 100h−1Mpc the correlation function remains close to zero and shows no evidence for any large scale galaxy clustering. The QSO correlation function detects strong QSO clustering for scales s < 10h−1 Mpc. At larger scales (10 < s < 1000h−1 Mpc) no evidence of significant QSO clustering is seen.
