Scientific paper

Thirty IRAS sources have been observed. Seven are galaxies, of which several show a non-stellar emission component. Fourteen lie close to the blackbody lines in JHKL colours and, where more than one observation has been made, these objects are variable and may be OH/IR stars or carbon-rich Mira variables. One object is a T Tauri star. Three objects show the combined effect of a star with a cool dust shell. In these cases the JHKL and IRAS colours demonstrate that a range of temperatures must be present in the circumstellar material. One object is unusual in having a very flat energy distribution from 1.2 - 25 μm. Four objects (if correctly identified with IRAS sources) are probably normal M stars with very cool dust shells.
