Abstract. Systematic redshift surveys of large numbers of galaxies are producing an increasingly good picture of galaxy evolution in the 0 < z < 1 redshift interval, onto which the view of the deeper Universe gained from the Hubble Deep Field may be grafted. The available evidence is that the largest and most massive galaxies were largely in place by z ~ 0.8. Although these larger galaxies are evolving, most of the evolutionary changes seen in the galactic population to this redshift involves smaller galaxies.
