Many searches have been carried out to detect emission from massive primeval hydrogen clouds at high redshift. By observing the 21 cm line it has been possible to impose strong upper limits on the mass and number of protoclusters at high redshift (Wieringa, et al. 1992). Since strong Lyα emission is expected from primeval galaxies undergoing their first burst of star formation, many attempts to detect this emission have been made, but no positive detection has been reported, imposing strong constraints on models of galaxy formation (see Djorgovski et al. 1993 for a review).
