The data from the IRAS satellite were coadded for about 1150 early-type galaxies with apparent magnitudes brighter than 14 mag. The sample selection, averaging procedure, and errors are discussed. Results are reported of galaxies of large angular size compared with the IRAS beamwidth and for a sample of dwarf ellipticals in the Virgo cluster. At 60 and 100 microns, about 45 percent of the ellipticals and 68 percent of the S0 galaxies are detected, showing that a large fraction of these galaxies contain cool interstellar matter.
