Description
The use of red colour as the basis for selecting candidate high redshift
dusty galaxies from surveys made with Herschel has proved highly
successful. The highest redshift such object, HFLS3, lies at z = 6.34
and numerous other sources have been found. Spectroscopic followup
confirms that most of these lie at z > 4. These sources are found in
such numbers that they represent a challenge to current models of galaxy
evolution. We also examine the prospects for finding dusty galaxies at
still higher redshifts. These would not appear in the SPIRE surveys from
Herschel but would be detected in longer wavelength, submm, surveys.
Several such `SPIRE-dropouts' have been found and are now subject to
followup observations.
