  NICMOS observations of the resolved object fluxes in the Hubble Deep Field
North and the Hubble Ultra Deep Field are significantly below the fluxes
attributed to a 1.4 - 1.8 microns Near InfraRed Background Excess (NIRBE) from
previous low spatial resolution NIRS measurements. Tests placing sources in the
NICMOS image with fluxes sufficient to account for the NIRBE indicate that the
NIRBE flux must be either flat on scales greater than 100 arc second or clumped
on scales of several arc minutes to avoid detection in the NICMOS image. A
fluctuation analysis of the new NICMOS data shows a fluctuation spectrum
consistent with that found at the same wavelength in deep 2MASS calibration
images. The fluctuation analysis shows that the majority of the fluctuation
power comes from resolved galaxies at redshifts of 1.5 and less and that the
fluctuations observed in the earlier deep 2MASS observations can be completely
accounted for with normal low redshift galaxies. Neither the NICMOS direct flux
measurements nor the fluctuation analysis require an additional component of
near infrared flux other than the flux from normal resolved galaxies in the
redshift range between 0 and 7. The residual fluctuations in the angular range
between 1 and 10 arc seconds is 1-2 nW m-2 sr-1 which is at or above several
predictions of fluctuations from high redshift population III objects, but
inconsistent with attributing the entire NIRBE to high redshift galaxies.
