As dust emission in the far infrared (FIR) is a characteristic property of planetary nebulae, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) point-source catalogue for confirmatory evidence on the two new possible planetary nebulae S 68 and 248 - 5 identified by Fesen, Gull and Heckathorn (1983) and the high-excitation planetary nebula 76 + 36 detected by Sanduleak (1983). The nebulae 248 - 5 and 76 + 36 were identified with IRAS sources 07404 - 3240 and 17125 + 4919, respectively, and their dust temperature, total FIR emission and optical depth were determined. A lower limit ranging in value from 1.2 x 10 to the -6th to 3.7 x 10 to the -5th for M(dust)/M(solar) of the nebula 248 - 5 depending on whether its grain material is silicate or graphite. S 68 could not be identified with an IRAS source.
