Scientific paper

The W3-W4 region (IC 1795 and IC 1805) is an area of extensive star formation in our Galaxy. A 2 x 3 deg field including W3 and most of W4 has been surveyed in the near-infrared; 137 stars were found to be much brighter in the near-infrared than at red wavelengths. The locations of these stars are compared with CO and far-IR peaks and to optically prominent areas such as bright rims and emission regions. The most probable spectral types and the extinctions are given.
