  We re-estimate the angular 2-point galaxy correlation function from the Lick
galaxy catalogue. We argue that the large-scale gradients observed in the Lick
catalogue are dominated by real clustering and therefore they should not be
subtracted prior to the estimation of the 2-p correlation function. We find
that if no such correction is introduced the galaxy correlations are perfectly
consistent with the those found in the APM survey. Thus, the long standing
discrepancy between the Lick and APM angular correlations is lifted.
