The large number of high-redshift submillimeter detected galaxies challenge our understanding of the star formation history of the Universe. The Herschel satellite promises to revolutionize our understanding of the sub-mm universe. However, accurately determining even the number of these galaxies has proven challenging because sub-mm images are highly confused. We present measurements of number counts using early release Herschel SPIRE data as part of the HerMES program using a fluctuation analysis (P(D)) technique, which allows us to probe galaxy counts below the classical confusion limit.
