The results of a survey of deep, near-red pointlike objects using mainly the IRAS CCD array focused on sources emitting in the 60 micron region are reported. Data were gathered on 0358 + 223, 0404 + 101, 0412 + 085, 0413 + 122, 0422 + 009 and 0425 + 012. Photometric data of these and other objects are provided in terms of R - I colors. Spectra were obtained for 0422 + 009 and 0425 + 012. The IRAS data indicated that the sources are high intensity IR galaxies. The intense emissions may arise from star formation bursts or an embedded active Seyfert nucleus. Further spectroscopic and radio observations are required to characterize the sources of the IR emissions more accurately.
