It is shown that the shape of the large, random clusters, near the critical percolation concentration c 0, is such that their mean boundaryis proportional to their mean bulk< n> and this is illustrated by an argument which shows that the dimension of the boundary is the same as that of the bulk. The resulting ratio< n> is simply related to the critical concentration c 0. The detailed results of a Monte Carlo calculation, previously reported, are given for c< c 0 on a simple square lattice; they yield an empirical formula for the probability distribution P (n, b), for finding a cluster of size n and boundary b, that is proportional to a Gaussian in b n, which is independent of concentration and which narrows to a δ function at b n= α 0, n→∞. The asymptotic behavior of the Gaussian form gives the critical exponents β= 0.19±0.16, and γ= 2.34±0.3, and α 0, gives the critical concentration c 0= 0.587±0.14, in agreement with previous determinations.
