The labels on this map refer to the constellations in which the majority of the supercluster is found, this may be different from the supercluster's usual name, thus the Perseus-Pisces supercluster is labeled as 'Per-And'. The largest supercluster on this map is the very large Horologium supercluster (labeled Hor-Eri), although it must be stressed that there are large numbers of rich clusters which do not yet have a published redshift. For example, there is probably a large supercluster in the constellation of Caelum at a distance of 1.4 billion light years associated with the Abell clusters 3256, 3265, 3268, 3273, 3275, 3285, 3289, 3295 and 3307 but only one of these clusters has a redshift listed in Struble and Rood's compilation of cluster redshifts (A3295, z=0.1062) and hence this supercluster is not plotted on the map.
