Results are presented of counts of galaxies over the apparent magnitude range 21 ≤ B ≤ 25, which have been obtained at the 6–meter telescope using McMullan's electronographic camera. These data do not indicate evidence for rapid luminosity evolution of galaxies. It is noted that the faintest galaxies, on the whole, have bluish color and a small correlation function amplitude.
