N2  - We study the contents of an apparent void in the distribution of Ly&#945; emitting galaxies at redshift 2.38. We show that this void is not empty, but contains a damped Ly&#945; absorption-line system, seen in absorption against background QSO 2138-4427. Imaging does not reveal any galaxy associated with this absorption-line system, but it contains metals (Fe&#x002F;H ~ &#8211;1.3), and its large velocity range (~180 km s&#8211;1) implies a significant mass.
