Scientific paper

The existence of a significant population of dust shrouded galaxies that do not emit much optical light but instead are primarily infrared sources is considered. It is noted that if very dusty galaxies are assumed to have a luminosity function similar to that of normal galaxies, then current observations seem to show that there are not more dusty galaxies than normal objects. Until more extensive infrared observations are obtained, however, it seems at least possible, though perhaps unlikely, that there are in fact a significant number of dusty galaxies.
