We identify a sample of 1959 massive clusters of galaxies in the redshift range of 0.70.75. By comparing them with clusters at lower redshifts, we confirm that richer clusters host more luminous brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) also at high redshifts, and that the fraction of blue galaxies is larger in clusters at higher redshifts. A small fraction of BCGs show ongoing star formation or active nuclei. The number density profile of member galaxies in stacked samples of clusters shows no significant redshift evolution.
