Abstract
The Hubble Deep Field, henceforth HDF, (Williams et al 1996) is a unique data set for studies of faint galaxies. A small area was chosen well away from known local density enhancements and sources of obscuration. It was imaged for 30 complete orbits in each of four filters centered on wavelengths λ300, 450, 606, 814 nm. There are three, contiguous WFPC2 frames and a solid angle 15,500 arcsec^2 is usable. This tiny region is teeming with galaxies. At least 2500 significant features can be identified down to R = 30, though it is not clear that these are all entire galaxies.
