The metric size function defined by Petrosian (1976) has been measured on a limited sample of luminous distant galaxies up to a redshift of 1.175. Preliminary evidence is found for the evolution of elliptical galaxies, and constraints are placed on the rates of dynamical evolution by means of the Ostriker-Hausman (1977) theoretical models. It is also found that the eta function is a sensitive probe for the investigation of galactic evolution, and of potential usefulness in cosmology. Problems remaining, and directions for future work, are outlined.
