Abstract
A mechanism by which even a small nonuniform interstellar extinction has an appreciable influence on the space covariance function of galaxies is described for the first time. The conjecture that the interstellar extinction is reduced at the equator of the Local Supercluster is tested. Although a negative result is obtained, there is evidence that at b greater than or equal to 45/sup 0/ the influence of interstellar extinction on the distribution of the nearest galaxies is large. On the other hand, data on the distribution of the galaxies with respect to the Hubble distances and angular diameters do not indicate the existence of the Local Supercluster.
