Abstract
I present K band photometry of the objects in the spectroscopic redshift survey of [Colless et al., 1990]. The absolute K magnitudes of the objects are consistent with the no-evolution or pure luminosity evolution models. The excess faint blue galaxies seen in the B band number counts at intermediate magnitudes are a result of a low normalization, and do not dominate the population until B ≈ 25. Extreme merging or excess dwarf models are not needed.
