Results of a program of ground-based near-infrared (JHKL) photometry are presented for 28 IRAS-selected sources in Chamaeleon I unassociated with previously known members of the pre-main-sequence population. Ground-based data are combined with IRAS results (including those from the Serendipitous Survey data base) to investigate the nature and evolutionary status of the sample. A search for highly reddened background stars was unsuccessful, but four previously unrecognized young embedded stars were identified of which one (11057 - 7706) may still be in the accretion phase. Serendipitous Survey data have also been extracted for opically selected members of the T-association, and IRAS identifications for several which do not appear in the Point Source Catalog are reported. The total number of young stars in Chamaeleon I detected as point sources by IRAS is now 36.
