The authors have searched for near-infrared emission from the Sharpless regions S269, S271, S307 and S311. Seven sources were detected scanning areas of 2arcmin.5×2arcmin.5 around the radio continuum peaks. The source Irs 2 in S269 shows a very steep infrared energy distribution with K-L = 2.88, suggesting the presence of a very young object of luminosity L(IR) = 5.4×103L_sun;. Young objects could be present also in the complex H II region S311 as the IRAS observations show. In addition, an extended 2.2 μm emission (>2 arcmin) has been observed in this region. Finally, the near-IR observations of S271 and S307 are in agreement with the presence of visible OB stars, at the center of the nebulosity. In particular, the near-IR excess observed in S307, has been interpreted in terms of stellar wind with M= 5×10-8M_sun;/yr. This wind could affect the evolution of the H II/molecular cloud region.
