Abstract: We present measurements of higher order clustering of galaxies from the latest release of the Canada-France-Hawaii-Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) Wide. We construct a volume-limited sample of galaxies that contains more than one million galaxies in the redshift range 0.2 and the hierarchical moments S_n = /^(n-1) (3<br />Comment: 17 pages, 11 figures, submitted to MNRAS
