Determination of the epoch dependent star-formation rate of field galaxies isone of the principal goals of modern observational cosmology. Recently, Hugheset al. (1998) using the SCUBA instrument on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope,report the detection of a new population of heavily dust enshrouded,star-forming galaxies at high redshifts (z > 2), dramatically altering thepicture of galaxy evolution. However, we show that this interpretation must betreated with caution because of ambiguities in the identification of the hostgalaxies. Based on our deep, high resolution 1.4 GHz obervations of the HubbleDeep Field, we suggest alternate identifications to the sub-mm detections.These identifications argue for a substantially lower redshift to the sub-mmpopulation with a consequential lowering of the z > 2 sub-mm/far infraredluminosity density and global star-formation rate.
