Deep HST WFPC2 images have revealed a population of very narrow blue galaxies which Cowie et al. (1996) have interpreted as being a new morphological class of intrinsically linear star forming galaxies at $z=0.5-3$. We show that the same population exists in large numbers at low redshifts (z=0.03) and are actually the edge-on manifestation of low surface brightness disk galaxies.
