Kraus and Ko [1] and Hanbury Brown and Hazard [2] have suggested that the band of radio emission running roughly perpendicular to the galactic plane at about 12h right ascension, represents the integrated emission from the concentration of bright galaxies lying along a great circle that crosses the galactic plane at longitudes l = 105 degrees and 285 degrees. This paper puts forward certain difficulties in this interpretation. These galaxies and our own are believed by de Vaucouleurs [3, 4] to be members of a “cluster of clusters,” which he terms the local supergalaxy, after Shapley.
