I predict the evolution of the X-ray luminosity function of clusters of galaxies. Predominantly, I treat the assumption that galaxies form first, then cluster together purely as a result of gravitation. I show that the richness distribution of Abell clusters favors this scenario, rather than the protocluster hypothesis. The luminosity function is produced by combining a generalized (for all ..cap omega..) Press-Schecter evolutionary mass function for clusters (derived herein) with a power-law X-ray luminosity-mass relation; a power law relation is supported by observations of low-redshift clusters.
