%X We summarise the results of a deep search for Lyman alpha emission from star-forming regions associated with damped Lyman alpha absorption systems and conclude that the Lyman alpha luminosity of high redshift galaxies is generally less than 10^(42) erg/s . We also present a newly discovered case, in the field of the QSO Q2059-360, where the emission is unusually strong, possibly because the damped system is close in redshift to the QSO.
