Abstract
We review primeval galaxy searches based on the Lyα line emission. Simple arguments are given which suggest that primeval galaxies (interpreted here as ellipticals and bulges undergoing their first major bursts of star formation) should be detectable with present-day technology. Many active objects are now known at large redshifts, which may be plausibly interpreted as young galaxies, but there is so far no convincing detection of a field population of forming normal galaxies. This suggests that either primeval galaxies were obscured, and/or are to be found at higher redshifts, z_(gf) > 5.
