Abstract:
We present new counts of field galaxies from more than 20 arcmin^2 to
a limiting magnitude of K = 20 and from 2 arcmin^2 to K = 21.5. At the
faintest magnitudes, the counts are slightly higher than those
reported previously, though still consistent given the small numbers
of galaxies in the two samples.
