Abstract From the structural investigations of 19 clusters of galaxies follows that secondary maxima in their projected radial galaxy distributions can be explained by subclustering. There are no signs for density shells around the cluster centres. Subclustering seems to be a typical phenomenon in clusters of galaxies.
