Recent results concerning the galaxy distribution at scales < 100 h−1 Mpc (Ho = 100 h kms−1 Mpc−1) show a number of characteristics which cannot be described by conventional statistical models. Correlation functions, for instance, can in no way give account of the presence of voids of the cellular (or spongy) appearance of the local galaxy distribution (M. Geller, this conference). There is clearly a need for new kinds of statistical models and statistical indicators.
