Description
We show that the 2.5 break in the galaxy correlation function derived from the Shane-Wirtanen counts is indistinguishable from an artifact introduced by residual system variations in the effective magnitude limit from plate to plate. In order to avoid introduction of a break, the systematic errors from plate to plate must be < or approx. =0.05 mag
